This is already handled by using a random minute of the hour, as implemented in 9b43399057 (maintenance: use random minute in cron scheduler, 2023-08-10), for example. There are similar uses for systemd, launchctl, and schtasks schedulers (look for uses of the get_random_minute() method).
Ah, thanks for pointing that out. It wasn't really clear from the multiple examples and cron expressions on the git maintenance documentation page (which have examples such as `0 1-23 * * *` for hourly). I should've looked more deeply into the implementation. Perhaps adding a line to the existing doc might be of help? What do you think about adding a line to the section on scheduling —
I do think a doc change would help. Please submit it as a patch for review! Thanks, -Stolee
