I had the same problem. After upgrade to version 0.12 the plugin works fine.

+1 issue exists in 0.9

For other Googlers:

Lots of people suggest setting your "real name" in your Google Profile. That isn't a field, or if it is, I've already set it.
Others suggest having a public email address in your GitHub profile. Tried it. Didn't work.
Tried using at token with full and complete access. No dice.

What does work: update to version 0.12 (which is not documented, and which IntelliJ doesn't believe exists):
