I recently deleted my personal GitHub account named sadhguru-karyam. My intention was to recreate it as a GitHub Organization, but the organization name is now unavailable even though https://github.com/sadhguru-karyam returns 404 and the GitHub API reports "Not Found". I was the previous owner of this username (itsupport@sadhgurukaryam.org). Could you please advise whether the name can be released or restored so I can create a GitHub Organization with the same name?
