Description

https://github.com/golang/gddo has a separate issue tracker, but gopherbot ("CL X mentions this issue") can only comment on golang/go repos.

We might also need to update parseGithubRefs in maintner/github.go but at first look at that function makes it seem like it is capable of doing the right thing.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how gopherbot currently parses GitHub issue references and modify it to support repositories outside the golang/go org, such as golang/gddo. Check the parseGithubRefs function in maintner/github.go and the gopherbot code that posts comments. Ensure the bot can authenticate and interact with external repos.
