"Github System" removed the Heroku Dashboard key and a personal user account of someone that seems to work at neither GitHub nor Travis removed my Travis CI key (????)

If you saw the user 'shairyar', he works at Travis based on linkedin profile page (but not based on github profile page). I was confused as well when I saw that.

I guess maybe, but this is incredibly badly communicated. Just now they showed up as a member of travis GitHub orgs, but the only member? https://github.com/orgs/travis-ci/people

It's very possible (likely) this is all fine, but done in a way that feels strange/fishy. I haven't even gotten an email from travis. They must be in fire-extinguishing mode.

I would have expected that they would have used a known human rather than look like someone with unauthorised access was doing so.

I see he now has access to three travis-ci organisations on GitHub.
