I am not a lawyer, but just on the surface this seems to me like it's the complete opposite of a canary. If the whole point is that you're continually posting a "no" and you suddenly stop, that makes sense legally because it seems strange that you could coerce someone to keep doing something and lying, as that is not the same thing as "disclosing" something. Like, if you wore a green shirt every day and suddenly started wearing red, it makes sense to me why legally it would be hard to force someone to keep wearing green shirts. This is nothing like that, the commit message itself is literally disclosing the fact that they have received an enquiry.
