Description

To a given host, there should be no more than 1(?) request per second.

https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/RateLimiting

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement rate limiting per host using a token bucket or leaky bucket algorithm, such as golang.org/x/time/rate. Add a mapping from host to rate limiter and enforce limits in the HTTP handler.
