This is parroting the "don't ban people because this way at least we can see what they're doing" meme. What, they can't create more accounts?

  Who's to say they don't already have multiple accounts? Surely being able to see at least a portion of their activity on a known account is better than all activity of their activity being anonymous.

    No. Because accounts gain reputation. It's more likely they're able to pull off a supply chain attack from a known account then a new account. So, ban accounts as you find them. Obvious.

      What’s “reputation” mean on GitHub? If it’s “valid looking commits to valid-looking repos”, it’s very trivial to fake that. You can fake the timestamps, too.

        Account reputation means having contributed to projects with reputation.
