Automation only works when project exists inside a repo that the bot is configured for

Github allows projects to exist inside, and outside of repositories. In attempting to give this a trial run, I noticed that the automation does not appear to work if the project exists outside of the repository (at the user or organization level), even if you specify a repository name within the automation card.

If this isn't an easy fix, it would be helpful if the documentation at least made this clear.

I would love to use this in a private user-level project that tracks multiple repositories. Specifically, automatically adding issues to the project board when they are created in the linked repositories would be very useful.

We have a project board at the org level that spans multiple repos, would be great if we could use automation to automatically add issues to specific project boards.

I was able to get this to work for private repos in an org for an org project, but I had to remove the org prefix from the arg

###### Automation Rules
- `new_issue` **webhook-tester** **some-other-repo**
- `new_pullrequest` **webhook-tester** **some-other-repo**

Put another way, **my-org/webhook-tester** failed to add a card to the project while **webhook-tester** worked fine
