[BUG] Unrelated user is tagged with @ in comment #91
Description
Describe the bug
On a project I do not control, in exadel-inc/CompreFace#543 (comment), the action seems to have inserted "@ivan" in the comment, causing GitHub to send an email to an unrelated ivan (me).
To Reproduce
I don't know, but "Ivan Kurnosau seems not to be a GitHub user" is probably related.
Expected behavior
Please don't @ unrelated GitHub users, it leads to undesired email from unrelated projects.

Hi there, I'm a CompreFace repository contributor and looks like I know how to reproduce it.
So real Ivan Kurnosau has such config for git on a local machine:
user.email: ...@exadel.com
user.name: Ivan Kurnosau
But his GitHub Account has another email: ...@gmail.com
So,
cla-assistantdidn't find such a user and just used a localuser.nameto tag a userBut because
user.namehas space, it tagged @ivanWe will try to fix it from our side - just add the correct email to the GitHub account.
But this is definitely a bug, you shouldn't try to tag unknown users.

Hi @ivan, I am really sorry that this GitHub action has sent you a unrelated email. I will fix this bug soon.
@pospielov Thank you for the explanation :). You are absolutely right 😄.
