lab mr create crashes when assigning to unknown usernames about lab HOT 4 CLOSED

I'm fine with that, if the buffer output is saved and can be restored I just figured you mean to actually create the MR in gitlab, that sounds even better.

Thanks for the well-written bug report and I can understand your pain :)

ISTR we do save buffer output on errors with 'lab edit'. I think this should be possible to do with 'lab create'.

I'll look into this.

@twouters would be it be better to create the MR, and then write an error message to the console indicating that the user could not be found?

Maybe also mention that the assignee can be changed with lab mr edit <id> --assign <user>? (filling in the MR ID, and maybe the (wrong) username)
