The repository [name] has been retired and cannot be reused
Recently I've renamed my Github.com account, then I return to the old name after that one of my old repositories retired without any reason + now I can't create a new repository with the same name!
The error message:
The repository [name] has been retired and cannot be reused
Is there any solution, or should I contact Github.com support team?
I had a same issue. I contected Github Support. And I got an answer.

Hi Im, Thanks for reaching out to GitHub Support. I have unretired that repository name for you. Here is the reason it was retired, by the way: https://github.blog/2018-04-18-new-tools-for-open-source-maintainers/#popular-repository-namespace-retirement If there's anything else I can do, give me a shout! Thanks, Steve G. GitHub Support
