List of repos 'Maintained' by a user

Body

Is it possible to use GitHub API to list all repos of a user where they are listed as a 'Maintainer'?

https://api.github.com/users/<username/repos gives me a list of repos of the user. Is there a way to identify if the user is a maintainer of any of those repos or any other repos?

I believe access to this information is prohibited unless you are a org_member/collaborator/owner of the repo.

GitHub Docs - GraphQL API - Enums - RepositoryPermission

Example 1:

• filter out all repos of the user domini4 and show the permission of the one making the query (viewerPermission) and show me all collaborators and their permissions.

{
  user(login: "domini4") {
    repositories(first: 100, ownerAffiliations: [OWNER, COLLABORATOR, ORGANIZATION_MEMBER]) {
      totalCount
      nodes {
        viewerPermission
        nameWithOwner
        collaborators {
          edges {
            permission
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

result:

• I would see the permission I have for this repository (viewerPermission), but the access to the collaborators information is forbidden for me.

{
  "data": {
    "user": {
      "repositories": {
        "totalCount": 32,
        "nodes": [
          {
            "viewerPermission": "READ",
            "nameWithOwner": "paigerodeghero/ComputerGameCodingCamp",
            "collaborators": null
          },
          {
            "viewerPermission": "READ",
            "nameWithOwner": "paigerodeghero/TigerDataCoding",
            "collaborators": null
          },
         ...
  "errors": [
    {
      "type": "FORBIDDEN",
      "path": [
        "user",
        "repositories",
        "nodes",
        0,
        "collaborators"
      ],
      "locations": [
        {
          "line": 8,
          "column": 9
        }
      ],
      "message": "You do not have permission to view repository collaborators."
    },
   ...

@LangLangBart Thank you for the reply.

Would this information be available if I allows GitHub OAuth authentication/login to my website?
