I think this comment resume well the frustration: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/27247#discussi...

I've received at least 10 different notifications during the past 24 hours from porn spammers on my Github project's issues. Github needs to implement some sort of rate restriction and privilege restriction on new Github user accounts, this can't continue. Also multiple reports on the web:

Got a notification for a spam comment yesterday and it was gone by the time I opened it.

When I saw some notifications today, I asked myself if somebody wanted to prove to github that a possible not paid bug bounty could be well exploited. I don't believe a spammer thinks that the github is the best way to convert his spam in $$.
