Hello,

your user-to-GitHub-user mapping is based on GH usernames. That is wrong because usernames can be changed, unlike IDs. I've just shortened my username (jakubroztocil => jkbrzt) and AppVeyor thinks it's two different users. Please:

1. Delete the new account created for jkbrzt
2. Internally change the username on my old account from jakubroztocil to jkbrzt
3. Stop using mutable usernames as IDs

Thanks <3

    I have the same issue. Just changed my name from samuel-massinon-invenia to samuel-massinon.

    Hi Sam,

    You can login to AppVeyor using your email and password (use "Reset password") and then re-link new GitHub user on https://ci.appveyor.com/profile page.
