A lot of these points are fair and interesting, but I fail to grab some of the points, especially that one:
Ability to block users from an organization.
What does blocking users mean? Blocking from commenting/making PR/cloning?
Why blocking a whole organization from an open source project? What would prevent such users to use a personal account instead to do what they organization counterpart is blocked from anyways?
A more plausible interpretation would be that a particular GitHub organization might wish to block the inputs of a particular user across all its projects. That is, the phrase "from an organization" is adverbial and clarifies "block" rather than "users".
You're probably right! I don't use organization accounts so I'm not sure what was the issue, it would be to prevent haters to troll on every project of a particular company?
Yes that would make sense to me, but keep in mind that any user may create an "organization", so this might just be a bunch of repos associated with e.g. a particular framework rather a particular company.
