Infuriating GitHub users that mass-spam GitHub email addresses to promote their repo. How do I report this behavior to GitHub? I guess I could also report them for CANN Spam violations.

    Also click the to link to see where it might be from, then the 3 dots top right and click show original. If the from and to are real and the headers look about right then fine, if the headers don’t have GitHub in them it’s pure spam

      The link was a tracking link with GitHub link text. Since the email was to my GitHub commit address, it’s def targeted GitHub scraping.
