Same here. To avoid getting overwhelmed by this, I have setup a particular email address tied to my git commits, that gets re-sent to my main email address, where it gets filtered, marked as seen and tagged as "potentially spam". I look at this tag sometimes (maybe once a month), depending on my available time, but in most cases, I just receive automated spam that is not even worth opening.

Yeah, I was talking about Git in general, not specifically GitHub. I'm contributing to a few projects that are not on GitHub, and my solution works everywhere, not just on GitHub.
