Cannot retrieve author from github release #2102

Description

@solonovamax

Describe the bug
Author (GHUser) is not included in the GHRelease object, even though it is present in the api response.

Unsure if this behaviour was changed in some past api update.

Expected behavior
Author is included.

Additional context
api docs: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/releases/releases?apiVersion=2022-11-28#list-releases
