I don't get your point. The repo, gh/npm accounts and such are just metadata and metadata of metadata, which is hosted and distributed based on the terms of service of gh/npm. The thing that matters most is what the npm project points to, since it is relied on by other packages and apps. The only thing this guy "owns", according to the law, is the copyright for the part of the codebase he wrote. Not that it matters much since it is MIT licensed.

And it doesn't really matter that much because the NPM people can decide to make it point somewhere else wherever they want, or people can decide to create a new package name on NPM and use that new name on their package.json file.
