Research direction

Start by locating the GitHub plugin code that parses repository.url, then reproduce the failure with the npm-normalized URL shown in the report. Verify the success path accepts the git+https repository format and that the plugin handles the reported repository without a parsing failure.

Description

Hello,
Part of testing the new beta of semantic-release for publishing with OIDC, I encountered a warning (auto-fixed) from npm:

npm warn publish npm auto-corrected some errors in your package.json when publishing.  Please run "npm pkg fix" to address these errors.\n' +
      'npm warn publish errors corrected:\n' +
      'npm warn publish "repository.url" was normalized to "git+https://github.com/Belphemur/node-json-db.git"\n' +

I fixed that warning with the given command, but now the github plugin isn't able to run it's success part because it can't parse the repository URL.
