It may seem inconceivable that github would infect downloads with malware, but 20 years ago sourceforge doing it would have seemed inconceivable. They did though. You're saying that it happened before so it won't happen again, but that's silly. Anybody with sense back then would have already known that sourceforge's reputation would be ruined by it, just as everybody knows githubs reputation would be ruined. But you can't count on businesses being run on common sense.
