As noted in release-drafter#60, bot accounts are currently being mis-mentioned, where instead of linking through to `dependabot[bot]` it'll tag a user `@dependabot` which isn't the same, and can result in unwanted notifications. To address this, we can retrieve the type of user that has authored a Pull Request, looking at the `__typename` to determine if it's a `Bot` or a `User` account, and provide a Markdown link to the Bot account's app page. Unfortunately this may result in a name such as: @[dependabot[bot]](https://github.com/apps/dependabot) But this is a better result than tagging the wrong account. Closes release-drafter#60.
