Can't embark on merge train: Unable to update: user X is unknown.

[JohanLorenzo]

Expected Behavior

Github users can use a Github label to get their PR embarked on a merge train.

Actual Behavior

Here's the error message we currently get:

This pull request cannot be embarked for merge

The merge queue pull request can't be updated
Details:

Unable to update: user MozillaNoah is unknown.

Please make sure MozillaNoah has logged in Mergify dashboard.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Have a user part of our Github organization mark a PR ready to embark on a merge train
2. Wait for CI to complete
3. When CI is ready, PR gets the error message above ⬆️

I'm not 100% sure but this looks like a recent regression. No one on the team has ever got this problem.

@sileht Is there a workaround for this that doesn't require a premium plan?

@JohanLorenzo no RSS feed for now, sorry 😢

We're working on a fix to make work again the queue action when using rebase. It should land by end of the week.

@jd, any workaround or suggestions on this one? We are using mergify with cephcsi to auto-merge PR's, we are currently blocked for PR merging. One example instance is here https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/pull/3738/checks?check_run_id=12653144572
