Better GitHub integration

I think you should

  1. Get from GH data about forks and commits and display it.
  2. Automatically use readme files.
  3. add links for forks, issues, wikis and other, if present for the script.

Regarding #2: github markdown is a little different so in some cases a manual markdown editing/simplification will be required. Anyway the initial auto-import of readme when adding the script to greasyfork seems quite handy.

As for wiki link I somehow doubt that more than 0.01% of all userscripts have wiki on github.

Issues link might be useful for those who primarily use github, they would click it instead of Feedback.

Automatic import of commit history on autoupdate could be handy in a simplified form: commit messages since last (auto-)update could be coalesced into one message in history of the script updates on greasyfork (maintaining links to the original commits on github).

1. It does this for commits if you set up a webhook.
2. This is coming - see this issue.
3. Greasy Fork supports @supportURL for issues and will display that on the feedback page. Wiki and forks, that seems to have limited usefulness - you could include it in your additional info.
