crash when using `status last_build` command

[boegel]

@casparvl I tried this (see #334) on our local bot after checking out develop, and hit a crash (found in pyghee.log):

This happens because we're using a private repo here, I think (see the "Not found" result from the call to the GitHub API)

Seems to work just fine here: EESSI/software-layer#1278 (comment) , so I guess it's not your bot instance, but the fact that it's a private repo that's causing issues here. In that case, I have no idea why it fails :) I expect your bot instance also needs to be able to fetch other stuff from that repo - any reason why it wouldn't be able to fetch the comments?
