[BUG]: Maintainer not added to the team

[jrwpatterson]

What happened?

Hi I'm using a token where I have added every single permission. I'm using the Octokit package to create a team but for some reason the maintainer isn't being added. The docs say the maintainer should be added automatically as the owner of the token. However, in my case the team is created, the user is added automatically but only as a team member; which means that the code then can't add new users or remove the created teams as there is no maintainer so now it has to be an Org Admin manually updating it.

I have tried both of these snippets, both relying on the auto assigning a maintainer and explicitly stating a user and in both circumstances the user who's token is used is added to the team but the team has no maintainers.

With the maintainer explicitly stated

        await this.octokit.rest.teams.create({
          org: 'org',
          name: channel.teamName,
          description: channel.teamDescription,
          privacy: 'closed',
          permission: 'push',
          maintainers: ['jrwpatterson],
        })

and without

        await this.octokit.rest.teams.create({
          org: 'org',
          name: channel.teamName,
          description: channel.teamDescription,
          privacy: 'closed',
          permission: 'push',
        })

As you can see I am added to the team but for rhyme or reason I am not the maintainer and there is no maintainer.

We are hoping to sync backstage teams with github teams, and projects created in backstage have their team members automatically assigned to a team and the repo for the backstage project automatically assigned to that team in both places.

To clarify I can create a team through the UI with myself as a maintainer.
