Problem description
If you accidentally go to, or clone, https://github.com/pybind11/pybind11 (instead of the correct pybind/pybind11, and this is a very easy mistake to make), you get redirected to the wrong place that seems like a security POC but could cause people real trouble.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior described for https://github.com/pybind11/pybind11 and compare it with the intended pybind/pybind11 destination. Inspect the relevant GitHub repository or organization configuration; the work is complete when the mistaken URL no longer leads users to the confusing destination.
