Regularly update Reference Risk model scores (Community Wishlist/W549)

Description

The language-agnostic reference risk model gives a score for a given cited reference based on its likelihood of being reverted. These scores can be queried using the Lift Wing API. However, the model and its underlying data appear to not have been updated since it was developed in 2024.

I propose that the model scores be updated in an automated process, if not in real-time, then perhaps once every few weeks or months. Doing so would give more up-to-date information about the risk of a given source, such as the number of times that it has been cited or how it is classified in a Perennial Sources list, which would help give readers and editors context on whether or not that source should be used.
