[GitHub] Deprecation Notice: Removal of the Authorizations API endpoint on November 13, 2020

Just got an e-mail from Github after trying out ghi (package version 1.2.0-1 as currently in Debian Unstable), probably after the initial login:

Subject: [GitHub] Deprecation Notice

Hi @<username>

On April 26th, 2020 at 23:44 (UTC) you or an application you used recently accessed the deprecated Authorizations endpoint on the GitHub API with the useragent ghi/1.2.0 (ruby 2.7.0p0 (2019-12-25 revision 647ee6f091) [x86_64-linux-gnu]; +https://github.com/stephencelis/ghi).

We will remove the Authorizations API endpoint on November 13, 2020. If you accessed the API via password authentication, then we recommend you use the web flow to authenticate. Please check that your app uses the web flow for authentication https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/authorizing-oauth-apps/#web-application-flow

You can learn more about these changes by visiting our developer blog https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-14-deprecating-oauth-auth-endpoint/

Thanks,
The GitHub Team

Since the date in the referred blog posting is newer than the most recent commit, I assume, this hasn't been fixed yet.
