You can mention any user you wish on a ticket using “@” followed by a GitHub username (for example,
@sarina
). However, auto-complete will only work for users who’ve been added to the repository.Unfortunately, we are at a user limit and cannot add more people to the GitHub organization
You will need to copy-paste usernames, or enter them from memory, after the “@” symbol. They will get notified!
To prevent spam, GitHub does not allow you to assign anyone to a ticket unless they’ve already commented on the ticket.
Solution: Any user can write a comment that only says,
