My only recommendation is to add better input filtering on the front end. For example, I initially copy and pasted the whole URL and it gave a 400 error. e.g.
https://github.com/QCgeneral29/
Then I realized it was only the username, so I deleted the url part, but forgot to remove the / at the end e.g.
QCgeneral29/
Another 400 error. Finally, I entered QCgeneral29 and it worked.
