Research direction

Start at src/index.js around githubPostRelease line 123 and trace how it is called from semantic-release/lib/plugins/normalize.js. Reproduce the reported semantic-release v15 scenario using the linked Travis build details; done means the release no longer raises the repository-of-undefined TypeError.
