The headline is misleading: it's 900 forks of the same GitHub repository and AFAICS a DMCA of one repository also takes down its forks.

To make it more difficult to take down, they could clone and push a new repository back to GitHub without the fork relationship.

Only if specified, and no, it's not misleading, they are still individual repositories.
