It would be good to write a script to fetch all of those and log their destinations to a CSV file and put that online somewhere. You could even make PRs to all of those projects replacing links with un-shortened versions.
I hope github will replace the redirects with a holding page linking where they used to redirect to, rather than just delete them. That way people can report the broken links to the original site and still get to the destination they were intending.
