GitHub's allowance of project names to be recycled is a security issue
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoI've seen some craziness due to reusable usernames on GitHub as well. Like someone being tagged into a discussion several months later for it to, in fact, be a completely different person, since the original user changed names. I really can't fathom any particularly good justification for allowing usernames, org names, etc. to be recreated. They should be treated how many platforms treat email addresses in that regard.
