By breaking into a github account hackers won't be able to drain any founds, this is not something that is handled by github authentication. Founds are stored in a multisig Safe wallet, transactions must be approved by the multisig owners.

Apart from that, you are practically saying "hey there are hackers out there, stop building tools".

If the payments aren't integrated into the github merge system, then what is this system doing at all. Why not just put a message in the merge commit saying "Hey, please send me eth at this address"?
