Ensure two administrators are set for each repository
Description
Ensure every repository has two users with administrative permissions. Repository administrators have the highest permissions to said repository. These include the ability to add/remove collaborators, change branch protection policy, and convert to a publicly-accessible repository. Reported as a manual review item: no reliable read-only gh api check exists for this control.

Under your repository name, click Settings. 3. In the "Access" section of the sidebar, click Collaborators & teams. 4. Under Manage access, verify that there are only 2 members with Admin permission.
