We can try to report this issue to github folks and see what could be
done. Maybe it's a matter of some text index to be rebuilt.

"mannequins" are those who are not members of LLVM organization (they
will be treated separately after the migration).
It was also a surprise to me that Richard does not have LLVM GH repo
commit access :)

Thanks! I'm hopeful that we can find a solution because this is almost
a show-stopper for me. I've spent several weeks going through Bugzilla
to triage C++20-specific issues and as best I can tell, GitHub would
be unable to accomplish this task *at all* (because many bugs were
reported before we had a tag for users to apply and not all bugs are
things that we had bugzilla tags for anyway -- we need a searchable
bug database). So hopefully it's a matter of rebuilding some text
index or something straightforward like that.

Oh, interesting. Thanks for the explanation

This particular issue seems inconsistent. I happened to come across 
https://github.com/llvm/test8/issues/52340 and in the CC there is
@zygoloid, correctly linked to that person's GH account. Why might it
work in some cases but not others?
