GET /bounties/:id and the other public read routes have no throttle beyond the global 120/min, and list routes are full-table scans #592
Description
Problem
GET /bounties, /milestones and /maintenance-pools are unauthenticated, return the entire table (#63), and now join relations. Each is limited only by the global default throttler (120 requests/min per IP, effectively per proxy without trust proxy). A handful of clients can keep the database busy with full scans.
Suggested fix
Paginate (#63), add an HTTP cache layer (Cache-Control with s-maxage) for public list routes, and give them a dedicated throttle.
