This seems weird because I’ve contacted GitHub Support dozens of times over a good part of the last decade and they’ve always been pretty responsive. Need to gc a repo? Usually done within the hour. Make a fork standalone? Same. UI complaints and suggestions? At least get a human response within a day or so, either explaining a decision or saying the feedback has been filed.

I guess abuse-related tickets can’t be handled by the usual responsive team(s).

If you are need to gc repos it is likely you are a huge customer that they care about.

No, I’m just an individual who was free for a few years, then started paying $7/mo (now $4/mo). Anyone can ask them to gc repos at any time. Typically needed when there’s an accidental push of a secret.
