I didn't realise that the intent of the github_user variable was to be the username or organisation where the git repository is remotely located. So when I ran the cookiecutter I put in my username, then had to change it all to the org I was actually using.

I think this is best solved by solving #296.

I would suggest removing the assignee from the Github issue templates? Especially for collaborative projects, I don't think it makes much sense to have a single issue assignee, and from my experience a lot of the time I work on projects that don't have a single person assigned to every issue so it would be nice not to have this as default on.

The motivation behind this is:

1. In my experience it's rare for a single person to be assigned every
issue in a repository. Much more common are no-one is assigned by
default, multiple people (e.g. core developers) are assigned by default,
or a group is assigned by default.
2. Not having a GitHub user in the issue template makes it much easier
to fix #305 by changing
the `github_user` field to stand for either a user *or* organisation.

This is not fixed via #308 although that PR solves my comment, above.
