<!-- Greeting --> Hi @coocoobau! I'm [Dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot) and I’m helping the incubator-devlake team. <!-- Answer --> The panic happens because PR #8583 changed the `PublishedAt` field in the `GithubRelease` model to a pointer (`*time.Time`), but the conversion logic in `release_convertor.go` dereferences it without a nil check, causing a crash when the value is null (as with draft releases) [see PR #8583](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/pull/8583). There’s currently no safeguard in the conversion function to skip or handle releases with a null `published_at` [see code](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/blob/2c15ad880dce830c6512fa58039527cbf4745b8b/backend/plugins/github/tasks/release_convertor.go). To avoid the panic, releases with a null `published_at` (drafts) should be skipped during transformation. There’s no documentation or built-in handling for this in the current codebase. The recommended approach is to add a check in the conversion logic to skip rows where `PublishedAt` is nil. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
