I'm not sure how much he advertised it.
This is part of the problem I have with things like npm, cargo, etc.
They defaults are set to try to suck up your work and get you to make it public.
Consequently, semi-useful things get loose probably long before people intended them to and probably long before people realize how much work they just signed up for.
