I have an org with a [set of roles](https://github.com/orgs/fansilet-roles/repositories), I’m wondering how can I import those roles from my user in galaxy-ng?  
The namespace in galaxy is `fansilet`, however the org name in github is `fansilet-roles`. Which creates a mislead git clone in the moment I try to import the role.

Example:

From the [Import Standalone role screen](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/standalone/roles/import/)

1. Github User:  
fansilet-roles _this is not a user is an organization_

2. Github Repository:  
unifi

This will try to clone from `https://github.com/fansilet-roles/unifi.git` which is correct, however because the fansilet-roles is not a user is an org this will fail with:

```auto
No matching namespace found

```

```auto
#### Failed to import role

Error 500 - : <!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>Server Error (500)</title> </head> <body> <h1>Server Error (500)</h1><p></p> </body> </html>

```

How can I import an stand-alone roles from a github organization?

Appreciate the help
