Action fails when encountering deleted accounts

[desrosj]

Description

When a user account is deleted on GitHub, they are shown as a ghost, and their activity is no longer attributed to an actual user. This was discovered in a few different pull requests.

First was Gutenberg-71208. While this pull request does not have any ghosts floating around, the issue associated with the PR was created by one. Here is the raw output of the collected contributor data from the workflow run:

{"commits":{"nodes":[{"commit":{"author":{"user":{"databaseId":76681468,"login":"im3dabasia","name":"Eshaan Dabasiya","email":""},"name":"im3dabasia","email":"eshaan.dabasiya@rtcamp.com"}}},{"commit":{"author":{"user":{"databaseId":76681468,"login":"im3dabasia","name":"Eshaan Dabasiya","email":""},"name":"im3dabasia","email":"eshaan.dabasiya@rtcamp.com"}}},{"commit":{"author":{"user":{"databaseId":76681468,"login":"im3dabasia","name":"Eshaan Dabasiya","email":""},"name":"im3dabasia","email":"eshaan.dabasiya@rtcamp.com"}}}]},"reviews":{"nodes":[{"author":{"login":"luisherranz"}}]},"comments":{"nodes":[{"author":{"login":"Mamaduka"}},{"author":{"login":"im3dabasia"}},{"author":{"login":"Mamaduka"}},{"author":{"login":"Mamaduka"}},{"author":{"login":"im3dabasia"}},{"author":{"login":"Mamaduka"}}]},"closingIssuesReferences":{"nodes":[{"author":null,"comments":{"nodes":[{"author":{"login":"im3dabasia"}}]}}]}}

The second was Gutenberg-7402, which had a comment from a ghost on the linked issue.
