alt Hacker NewsAt first I thought this was a user submitted project due to the subdomain of github.com but then realize the subdomain is also github. Is this an official channel for this sort of thing? Surprised this isn't on the official blog.

it's a GitHub Pages site in the @GitHub org from a repo called gh-stack (i.e. the repo is at https://github.com/github/gh-stack/).
There’s a special case where certain official orgs can continue to use github.com instead of github.io for their Pages domain, and that’s how you end up with:
https://github.github.com/gh-stack/
from the code:
Should Pages owned by this user be regarded as “Official GitHub properties”?
def github_owned_pages? GitHub.github_owned_pages.include?(login) end
# Orgs/users that are owned by GitHub and should be allowed to use # `github.com` URLs. # # Returns an Array of String User/Organization logins. ...
It's their 'GitHub' org GitHub Pages domain - it's just .com instead of .io (not to be confused with their gh.io link shortener)
It's in private preview. Probably they'll put it in the main docs and such once it's open to everyone.
