This is a followup to the Gist https://gist.github.com/elbosso/4f3bb0fb95dd1dc499cd46db422900bf - gitlab-python does not expose the header X:Total when listing items - so the response of this is noticeably slow from about 100 items upward. The shell approach demonstrated here works in constant time - regardless of the number of items queried
