Pull Request Overview
This PR fixes a TypeError that occurs when processing pull requests containing ghost users (deleted GitHub accounts). The error happens when the github3 library attempts to access repository owner information that is None for deleted accounts.
- Wraps the problematic
pull_request()call in a try-catch block to handle TypeError exceptions - Adds comprehensive test coverage for the ghost user scenario
- Follows the established error handling pattern used elsewhere in the codebase
