If you go to: https://github.com/cran/ and stick something in the
search box for "This organization" you'll get redirected to the search
URL, for example:

https://github.com/search?q=org%3Acran+monkey

I think "cran" is technically an "organization" rather than a "user"
on github, but users and organizations occupy the same namespace so it
probably doesn't matter if the search string has user or org in this
case.

Github also has a REST search API - hasn't anyone wrapped this in R yet?
