The redirect behavior gives users the false impression that the old organization name is still permanently associated with them. Making that the actual behavior seems like the easy solution here.
If GitHub is concerned with people burning through names, they could either limit the number of changes before you have to reach out to support or limit the redirect behavior to just the last two org names.
