@tom how long after creating a github organisation can we navigate to its dev-null account url and claim it?

should be just a few seconds in theory, any issue?
so apparently I need to @ the org to create it. Without doing that, it's been 10 minutes and the account still hasn't existed. I can now claim it though
ah yeah! we unfortunately can't import the hundreds of thousands of orgs. We could look into lazy-importing orgs or something
would be cool if I visited a dev-null org account page, instead of telling me there's nothing here, it would kick off a lazy-sync added to a queue. Not sure how you could verify whether the org exists on the github end and tell the end user "hold on, we need to sync some data,…
yes, I'm just afraid of SEO or bots crawling us, maybe just allow that for logged in users

personally doing it for logged in users only is totally fine :) or even add a button that could tie the action to a specific user.
Although possibly the easiest is just a message: on an account that gets a 404, write "if this is an organisation, @ them, and we'll index it!"
