> That was an MIT-licensed open source project I wonder if perhaps they made it private before deleting it. It would make sense perhaps for GitHub to do this if the original was private and you lost access to it (though.. you should still somehow retain downstream work?) - and I can easily imagine that coming with a 'checking private status at time of delete not time of fork' bug.
