Giscus fails when repository contains capitals

See original GitHub issue

Discovered this when using Giscus with Jekyll as part of https://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes/pull/3022

The PR takes the repository name from a setting, which in my case was SeanKilleen/seankilleen.github.io.

Giscus failed with a 400 error when retrieving comments, so thought there was no discussion topic, and therefore kept creating new discussion topics.

I think the issue is that the GitHub API or similar might be failing with a repo name that contains uppercase characters. I’ll see if I can submit a PR to make that behavior case insensitive.
