Seems worth tracking publicly. Maybe I should create a GH rep.... er... hm...

Maybe worth posting leaked Windows, Apple, Intel, Steam, The Wicher codes on GH as private repos and then seeing who will sue whom first.

I went through my private repos and the only one I found was one where I had forked a project, called `documentation`, and my fork made it into the Software Heritage archive. Sometime between then and now I deleted my fork and cloned a private repo with the same name. I confirmed the Software Heritage archive only has the one that was public and not the private one. I feel like we'd be hearing much louder alarm bells if the Software Heritage archive included private code given how many people rely on private GitHub repos.

That person is unable to provide us with a repo name either.
