cargo owner -a fails with HTTP 500 error

[lalitb]

Current Behavior

For opentelemetry-etw-logs, getting error on adding an owner:

$ cargo owner --add github:open-telemetry:rust-maintainers
-v
    Updating crates.io index
  Credential cargo:token get crates-io
error: failed to invite owners to crate `opentelemetry-etw-logs` on registry at https://crates.io

Caused by:
  the remote server responded with an error (status 500 Internal Server Error): Internal Server Error

Background:

• The GitHub team github:open-telemetry:rust-maintainers was originally an owner of this crate.
• The team was accidentally deleted on GitHub and later re-created with the same name.
• We removed this team as owner and attempted to re-add it.

It seems like the crates.io registry is encountering a server-side issue, possibly related to the fact that the team was deleted and re-created. Please let me know if additional steps are needed to resolve this.

Expected Behavior

The owner should be added.

Steps To Reproduce

$ cargo owner --add github:open-telemetry:rust-maintainers

Environment

N/A

@Turbo87 what’s the solution here - Do we need to create a GitHub team with a different name, and use that?

[Turbo87]

yeah, I think that would be easiest for now.
