This isn't my experience. I requested that you looked into a spammer in July 2025, you ignored my reply and the account is still active.

Thank you so much for the report. We're sorry to hear you're receiving unwanted emails, but it's always a possibility when your public contact information is listed on the web. You can keep your email address private if you wish by following the steps here:

Setting your commit email address

We do expect our users to comply with our Terms of Service, which prohibits transmitting using information from the GitHub (whether scraped, collected through our API, or obtained otherwise) for spamming purposes. I'm happy to look into it further to see if we can contact the reported user and let them know that this type of activity is not allowed.

Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

I understand it will happen from time to time. I'd rather be contactable (I've received legitimate emails today because my email is on my profile).

Please take further action. My email is public with the expectation that the ToS will be enforced. If GitHub isn't discouraging spammers then it makes it much harder to justify being contactable.

All the best, David
