Github usernames can be uppercase

When adding a gist to verify one's github account, the keys.pub application requires a lowercase username. This isn't a large issue except that when keys.pub tries to verify the username and gist, the usernames don't match because the real one is uppercase.
Screenshots below
After changing my username to lowercase and creating the gist, I get this error while verifying.
This is not a critical issue since you can make the name in the url lowercase and it will succeed, but it certainly is not great UX.

Yeah this is a known issue, I think a new build is going out today.
Thanks for reporting the issue.
