What was sent was not a DMCA notice in the standard sense; I encourage you to read it. It’s designed to look like one, but lacks critical elements (such as identifying an infringing URL).
The infringement described in their notice is hypothetical, not an actual instance of infringement, which is one of the required things in a DMCA notice.
GitHub can indeed leave the repo up, as this notice is insufficient to trigger the part of the DMCA that forces them to remove it.
