I also just got this email and it actually fills me with confidence. Everyone makes mistakes and while I'm a lot better about using ENV vars and the like to pass secrets into code, it was wasn't that long ago that I was committing secrets to git because it was way easier. Thankfully this was a rather low-stakes mistake for me as my email and username are already linked (though I understand that is not the case for everyone). I'm also very happy with how Dan handled this. A user reached out to warn him about the breach, he investigated, found the issue, and communicated it to his users. A /very/ different situation from how Ubiquiti handled a much higher-stakes breach.
