New GitHub repositories block LinkedIn url scrapes

Issue Summary

Recent repositories in GitHub are failing the LinkedIn link validation and cannot be added to LinkedIn profiles as a result.

Issue Details

From one's LinkedIn profile, attempting to add a newer repository throws the error message "Sorry, we were unable to retrieve information about your link. Please try another link."

LinkedIn provides a link inspector and the result of inspecting newer repositories by any owner is the message "We did not re-scrape https://github.com/[owner]/[repository] because the URL or one of its redirects is blocked."

OpenGraph Requirements

Per LinkedIn Support feedback, sites shared on LinkedIn profiles should follow OpenGraph requirements. To that end, I have created and added a custom image based on the Social preview template under the repo settings, which did not work.

I have also uploaded the OpenGraph image of the repository from https://opengraph.githubassets.com/[hash-or-version]/[owner]/[repo] to the Social preview setting, which also did not work.
