Github Apps - Keep the state sent initially after admin installation approval?

Hi, it's for sure related to this topic but I think now it's mostly can be considered as a bug.

When you initialize a new GithubApp bot installation with the /new endpoint to install it on an organization and it requires an admin approval -> in the callback this admin would have, we would find the code and the installation_id but not the "state" initially sent by the user asking the permission during the /new call.

It creates an annoying problem to link the installation_id to a specific user in our backend/database in the webhook handler.

Is it something solved today or is it still impossible to have this state in the callback? What other solution exists currently?

+1. This is something we regularly encounter in async installations.
