Research direction

Reproduce the two GhApi/GHApi constructor and list_events calls shown in the issue, then trace how constructor values are handled by the events API. Done means an instance created with username='gone' produces the same result from list_events() as list_events(username='gone').

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When calling the events api, none of the values passed into the constructor are included

EG given two api objects:

owned_api = GhApi(username='gone', token=github_token)
global_api = GHApi(token=github_token)

I would expect these two calls to be equivalent:

owned_api.list_events()
global_api.list_events(username='gone')

But get them to be the same, I need to pass the username into both list_events calls.
