Github has changed this several times :-(  if the old url scheme is not
working any longer the guidelines should be updated.  Fpc ticket is
probably best for that.  From your description of what urls work, I'm not
sure if there's a good recommendation for a github url in source0 (have to
test the permutations to see). Might have to go back to putting the url in
a comment.
