GitHub has very little discretionary ability when it comes to these requests, if they want to remain safe from prosecution for DMCA cases. It is up to the person receiving the DMCA to file a counter notice.

No need to remain safe. Just set an example right now and get over this forever. What their decision means is that I can't host code on GitHub because I might have down times (at least) if some clown thinks my software can be used to commit crimes. Of course my software can be used to commit crimes. Probably any software can.
