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.

but that’s how git works… if you have public commits anyone can get that email, it’s not github leaking it, it’s you
I never said GitHub was leaking me? I said someone who has a GitHub repo is scraping GitHub emails and spamming. Seems like the kind of ToS violation GitHub would want to know about.
I don’t think it violates ToS, it’s public data. One can even search for emails directly like this and get millions of matches
https://github.com/search?q=%2F.*%40gmail.com%2F&type=commits
it’s a shitty thing to do, and I wouldn’t want my name or company associated to it, but I don’t think it violates ToS
Hmm, perhaps. Not sure of this would cover that:
