Hello amc2399,

<snip>

My first reactions were:

1. Someone is trying a phishing scam on the distribution list. It has happened before.

2. Someone set up the wrong email address for their GitHub account.

I hope it's not #1.

Cheers,
Randall

The emails do appear to be coming from GitHub.  I've reached out to
the security team so that they can investigate what's going on.
