Ah, i did not realize they did not email you.
That is something to which you at least deserve an answer to, though i expect they don't do it because sending out that email would alert the owner of the bot which would otherwise never be any wiser. It's a cousin of hellbanning, something which even HN does.
Though i think it's also fair to point out that your post only raises that issue as an aside, while that is the most salient thing in it.
Also, a bit of github background: Personal accounts are meant for small personal things. They expect anything big and important to happen in organizations, which i suppose are treated slightly differently.
