No need for any git-blame, the blame lies in GitHub not making this feature optional and more known. So well known that a noobish employee is aware of it, so that they do not feel like they are "safe" and no longer need to alert management about their error.

Contracts, insurance and criminal code are responsive measures, not preventative measures. Security is preventative, not responsive.
