Infuriating GitHub users that mass-spam GitHub email addresses to promote their repo. How do I report this behavior to GitHub? I guess I could also report them for CANN Spam violations.

I don't think it violates ToS, it's public data. One can even search for emails directly like this and get millions of matches

it's a shitty thing to do, and I wouldn't want my name or company associated to it, but I don't think it violates ToS
