Description

We would like to be able to make use of the SCIM API (https://developer.github.com/v3/scim/) within the pyGithub package. This would enable us to search users in our organisation by their SCIM attributes, such as the idp provided email address, nameID. These attributes cannot be changed by the organisation members, unlike their personal github account details, so would provide an immutable set of search criteria for us.
