Does the GitHub ToS matter when I upload code that was written by somebody who doesn’t use GitHub?

Then you would be the one infringing their copyright, and they could probably sue you.

Although I'm curious about what GitHub would do if the original author asked them to remove the work from Copilot. Retrain from scratch every month or so, to remove last month's DCMAed content?

I doubt that as an interpretation that Github wants people to make since that means that tons of major projects need to be remove from Github. Basically all that are older than Github.
