The login
field represents an organizational member's username (e.g., wesley-dean-flexion
). The GitHub API supports user
objects which can be queried, updated, etc. via API call:
PUT /orgs/{org}/memberships/{user}
The user object GET documentation provides access to an abundance of additional fields:

}
Most of those fields aren't useful; perhaps email
(e.g., match @flexion\.us$
) might be interesting, but even that's questionable at this point.
Regardless, there may be some value in having access to those fields.
This is likely a lower-priority idea.
As a GitHub team maintainer, so that I have more granular control over which organizational members are included on a given team, I would like to be able to filter on fields other than
login
.
