Github asked me to file a new ticket, so it is all under Ticket 4833281 now.

Good to know, I had let the team know. It’s handled by the appropriate folks so I won’t see further updates, but this should be in good hands now.

Personal(!) opinion: do get a standard template drafted for these cases by a legal professional. You don’t have to retain anyone or sue anyone, but having a consistent, and compliant filing always expedites decisions - this isn’t GitHub specific. Some platforms like YouTube try to abstract this process and end up with the opposite problem of lots of specious claims. Hence the transparency of publishing all notices we receive. Again no idea whether the filing is the issue in this specific case, nor saying you did anything wrong here, just general advice for fewer headaches.
