I wonder how does it match my public key at github? Does it use a popular accounts index, or maybe he crawled a bit?

Ben Cartwright-Cox (aka. benjojo) [1] crawled many “github.com/USERNAME.keys” some time ago [2]. Filippo, being colleagues, probably asked for a copy of his database to run this experiment. For example, here are the public SSH keys Linus Torvalds uses on GitHub [3].
