This guy's interactions seem weird but it might just be because of the non-native english or a strange attitude, or he's very good at covering his track e.g. found a cpython issue where he got reprimanded for serially opening issues: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/115195#issuecomment-1935707908 https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/115195#issuecomment... But clicking around he seems to mostly be interacting with interest around these bits e.g. https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/95341#issuecomment-1802889364 https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/95341#issuecomment-... or pinging the entire python team to link to the PR... of a core python developer: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/95341#issuecomment-1872618454 https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/95341#issuecomment-... If I saw that on a $dayjob project I'd pit him as an innocuous pain in the ass (overly excited, noisy, dickriding). Here's a PR from 2020 where he recommends / requests the addition of SCRAM to an SMTP client: https://github.com/marlam/msmtp/issues/36 https://github.com/marlam/msmtp/issues/36 which is basically the same thing as the PR you found. The linked documents seem genuine, and SCRAM is an actual challenge/response authentication method for a variety of protocols (in this case mostly SMTP, IMAP, and XMPP): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salted_Challenge_Response_Authentication_Mechanism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salted_Challenge_Response_Auth... Although, and that's a bit creepy, he shows up in the edition history for the SCRAM page, the edit mostly seem innocent though he does plug his "state of play" github repository.

    "fawning" or "ingratiating" seem to be the standard English words for this.

  True, it does seem innocent enough upon more reflection.

reported the account to github, just in case.

What? They're just asking for some features there? Ya'll need to calm down; this is getting silly. Half the GitHub accounts look "suspicious" if you start scrutinizing everything down the the microscopic detail.
