Description

Hello,
Part of testing the new beta of semantic-release for publishing with OIDC, I encountered a warning (auto-fixed) from npm:

npm warn publish npm auto-corrected some errors in your package.json when publishing.  Please run "npm pkg fix" to address these errors.\n' +
      'npm warn publish errors corrected:\n' +
      'npm warn publish "repository.url" was normalized to "git+https://github.com/Belphemur/node-json-db.git"\n' +

I fixed that warning with the given command, but now the github plugin isn't able to run it's success part because it can't parse the repository URL.

Research direction

Start by locating the GitHub plugin code that parses repository.url, then reproduce the failure with the npm-normalized URL shown in the report. Verify the success path accepts the git+https repository format and that the plugin handles the reported repository without a parsing failure.
