Description
> `/wp-admin/admin.php?page=jetpack-beta` sometimes calls an api.github.com link which returns a 422 Unprocessable Entity error. It seems to vary though, and now I can’t replicate, but I have a screenshot from the last time I saw it:

Contributor guide
Research direction
Begin at `/wp-admin/admin.php?page=jetpack-beta` and trace the request to the `api.github.com` link, using the attached screenshot as the available failure evidence. First determine which request parameters can produce the 422 response; done means the cause is reproducible and the request no longer produces the reported error, or the response is shown to originate upstream.
