So apparently https://github.com/orgs/EpicGames/teams/developers https://github.com/orgs/EpicGames/teams/developers is a private group where anyone who wants to see the Unreal Engine source code has to join. Do you have to be a member of a group to send out notifications for mentions? If so, this guy did nothing wrong (besides the useless PR and his "fix this asap" attitude) - it's Epic misusing a GitHub feature. Sending notifications for mentions of _your_ team sounds like the reasonable default.

GitHub has a public option for repositories which would have allowed anyone to see the source code, but instead EpicGames wanted to collect more private information on anyone that wanted to see the source code, and now they have a PR problem because of it.

  They wanted a signed ToS because it is only ‘source available’. Maybe GitHub just was not the best way to make a large readonky non-open source codebase available
