Opt-out is still manual and undocumented process?
I am very concerned that "own assessment" of what is a DoS means that source code is expected to be hosted only on large platform or by large corporation which is another way to say that "the little guys don't matter".
Self hosting of source code should be an option and the proxy should be there to reduce the traffic load, not amplify or artificially increase that load despite the "level of DoS".
One thing Drew is asking for is to respect robots.txt to allow the operator to determine what a reasonable level is for that operator and not apply a github bias to it.
