Please correct me if I am mistaken, but wasn't https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock where the original uBlock was hosted at? Gorhill might had declared Raymond to be the "owner" of uBlock but to me it is not clear that uBlock Origin is a fork by any means.

It was.

But he later fully transferred (everything, including stars issues and whatever) the repo to Aljoudi (you can do that on GitHub) so it was under Aljoudi's namespace. Then, Hill forked it back, which eventually became the repo for uBlock Origin we have today. It doesn't show "forked from xxx" any more today for reasons I don't know (maybe he recreated it?), but you can still see it in the archive version of it I linked above (you can also check older dates and Chris' one, to show the transfer more clearly).

Interesting, I did not know that you could transfer repos this way on github, thanks.
