I too hit this. It's not addressed in the FAQ, and when I tried to "export the 
project again" it errored out, saying "Invalid project."

It does appear to have done *something*, in that I do see a new repo in my 
github account, so it *appears* that the "error" is more of a "warning", in 
that it wasn't able to lookup github users for all the Google Code user 
accounts.

In particular, I noticed that the imported github project has the wrong 
username for various accounts, and I'm not sure (1) how to fix this, much less 
(2) tell the Google Code Exporter what the username mapping is/should be.

Could you try opening an incognito window / private browsing tab, and trying 
the export there?

Exporting a project doesn't check your Google/Gmail credentials, just your 
GitHub ones as part of an OAuth flow. Perhaps the problem is you are logged 
into GitHub and between your cookies and the OAuth step, we are getting 
confused?

Anyways, an incognito tab should require you to log into GitHub as part of the 
export. That might help.

@chrsm...: Thank you for the suggestion. I renamed my original import at 
github, created a new Incognito window, and tried Export to Github a second 
time.

The results are worse: 6 hours later, and the import is at "0% complete", 
according to import.github.com.

When I reload the Google Code Export to Github page, it contains the "Error 
getting GitHub user." message.

In case this helps with debugging, I'm attempting to export:

https://code.google.com/p/dblinq2007/

The "completed but errored" import is at:

https://github.com/jonpryor/dblinq2007_import1

Note that all of the "jonmpryor" commits should be from jonpryor.

The "reattempted but failed" github repo is:

https://import.github.com/jonpryor/dblinq2007/import
