How did you get that org name!?

It was inactive for a long time [1]. I emailed GitHub about it and they gave it to us!

  • Wow.

    For all the usernames I've ever tried getting (and failed cause they don't give out inactive usernames on most platforms), that's amazing.

    • In my opinion pretty terrible that github nilly willy can decide your org was inactive for too long and give it a new owner. (tbf i dont really know for how long and how inactive but still, this is potentially a security vulnerability with github)
