      Description

      I get the following error with version GitHub API 1.89 and 1.90 and PRs aren't build. Had to downgrade to 1.86 to get it working again. 

      Unable to handle PR# 12984 for repo: xbmc/xbmc

          I am experiencing the same issue. After restarting jenkins it goes away for a little while, then starts happening again. Very frustrating as builds just don't start.

          At first i thought it may have something to do with the author of the PR (looking at the stack trace), but it sometimes happens for pull requests created by a user for which previous builds worked just fine.

          EDIT: my stack trace is a little bit different:

          java.lang.NullPointerException

          And thing is - once this starts happening for a PR - it does not go away, you have to restart Jenkins to temporarily fix it.
