getLabels() call for a pull request results in 403

[VirenMody]

I'm a student working on a project in which we're analyzing git repositories' pull request's patch files.

I was able to make the getLabels() call using a GHIssue object, but when making it from a GHPullRequest object I get a 403. ("message":"Must have admin rights to Repository.","documentation_url":"https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/#edit-an-issue")
NOTE: This was tested on a public repo, not my own.

I did see #178, but didn't see the GHPullRequest.fetchIssue() method in the Javadocs.

GHPullRequest extends from GHIssue, so the design here is to call GHPullRequest.fetchIssue() at the right point to ensure methods defined on GHIssue return correct info when used on GHPullRequest instance, such as getLabels() do.

Why does the getLabels() call work for a GHIssue object but not for a GHPullRequest object?

Here's my code

String testRepoName = "code4craft/webmagic";
GHRepository testRepo = null;
try {
    GitHub gitHub = GitHub.connect("*******", "**********");
    testRepo = gitHub.getRepository(testRepoName);
    List<GHPullRequest> pullRequestList = testRepo.getPullRequests(GHIssueState.CLOSED);
    System.out.println(testRepoName + "'s number of pull requests: " + pullRequestList.size());
    for(GHPullRequest pullRequest: pullRequestList) {
        Collection<GHLabel> labelList = pullRequest.getLabels();

Here's the stacktrace:

Have you tried with #431?
It looks like that could fix your issue.
