The skeptic in me sees this as a way to get a bunch of developers subscribed to a feed / notification. Will be interesting to see if the repo gets misused somehow.
What’s the worst case scenario here? I can only imagine the devs just getting some spammy notifications and having to unsubscribe.
No real danger, just seems like it could be used as a marketing ploy.
It definitely can be. And maybe it should be, if github needed it. But they control enough market share that I don’t think it’s necessary to go that route.
