FWIW I *have* had trouble(s) in this area and as a result
lost my account. This was 2 years ago and the problem (from
GitHubs standpoint) not one that they were able to understand
or resolve. Since that time someone else was able to take my
account name. :(
I have since been able to acquire another/name account w/o
issue(s)
Only saying any of this to indicate it *can* happen. :/
