I wish they used statuspage.io or at least offered email notifications for the status.

If you use Slack, you can subscribe to the Github Status RSS feed from the DM page for slackbot, or even your own username by using:

/feed subscribe https://status.github.com/messages.rss

I got a "Major service outage" message about 30 minutes ago.

i learned this trick as well and now our "hosting-alerts" channel has RSS feeds from github,aws,google,heroku,ubuntu(security list) and quite a few more

statuspage.io sites have rss/atom feeds in the 'subscribe' options as well.

RSS seems to live on here

Neither of these are a simple "subscribe" button or even a fix, but some thoughts:

- They have an API you could quickly tap to write your own notifier: https://status.github.com/api

- They have a Twitter account that you could pair with IFTTT to send notifications: https://twitter.com/githubstatus
