It was inactive for a long time [1]. I emailed GitHub about it and they gave it to us!

Wow.

For all the usernames I've ever tried getting (and failed cause they don't give out inactive usernames on most platforms), that's amazing.

In my opinion pretty terrible that github nilly willy can decide your org was inactive for too long and give it a new owner. (tbf i dont really know for how long and how inactive but still, this is potentially a security vulnerability with github)

Probably since no one has abused this mechanism yet. I’m sure if people start trying to vacuum up inactive accounts, it might become a problem
