Spammers have reason to target GitHub: GitHub is listed on many resumes, so it's worth money. The problem comes when social engineering spammers are investigated. They blame others, and get those others delisted from GitHub. I suspect that, like eBay, CraigsList, SpamHaus, and (R)eddit, GitHub's spam fighters are now completely coned by the spammers so that they only shut down honest people.
