Null pointer exception when JQL filter returns an issue of which the current assignee has been renamed in JIRA

The class GratyPanelIssues uses the method issue.getAssigneeId(), and in turn tries to get a UserProfile via userManager.getUserProfile().

This does not work when the assigned user has been renamed in JIRA as getAssigneeId() returns the attribute user_key, and not the attribute user_name.

The latter is required for the call getUserProfile() to work properly. Usually these two attributes have the same values, but when you rename a user, only user_name is updated, whereas the user_key remains the same.
