It's not a traditional DMCA copyright take down, but a take down that's enforced under a different section of the DMCA. I believe that in this case, there is no avenue for issuing a counter notice, but I'm not a lawyer and I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

Github files this notice under their dmca notices[0]. Maybe it's not a legal dmca notice, but I would assume if github files it as such, then the internal rules of github would apply. This includes a counter-notice.
If it's not a dmca takedown and those rules don't apply then I would assume github would need to explain why they filed it as such. (It's probably the RIAAs "fault", but "we" have only direct contact with github so we need to go through them)

The allegedly relevant sections of the DMCA do not contain any forced takedown measures except under court order. So I agree it doesn't seem to be a traditional takedown order, there doesn't seem to be any other reason they took it down.
