I have several concern about the logic here:
- According to the doc,
username
is also optional, autodetected if not supplied, have you ever tried whether that works? - If the template users are using PAT and no variable
RNOVATE_GIT_AUTHOR
is provided, we should use the default value, but seems the default value is removed. - If the template users provide a specific value to variable
RENOVATE_GIT_AUTHOR
, we should respect it whenever GitHub App is used.

It needs to further verify feasibility on it.

I have verified the following scenes:
- only bot token(not username): it detects username and sets the correct bot account.
- bot token and git author: it still resolves to use bot account.
- bot token and not git author(use yaml default author explictly): use bot account again.
I don't known how it creates a ghost user now and feel confused.🤣

Is there any corresponding job logs or created pull requests?

From my understanding, they are two different things. The author of the pull request author is only determined by the token used when creating the pull request. So it will either be a personal account when using PAT or bot account when using token generated by GitHub App. The renovate configuration only affects the git author of the commits, as you can see in the commits
tab [1][2].

Seems we have consumed too much energy on this, if necessary, we can have a online discussion about this.

Refer to https://docs.renovatebot.com/modules/platform/github/#running-as-a-github-app, when using self-host renovate on github, we only need to set the RENOVATE_USERNAME.
