Interestingly I just got the following email 5 times in quick succession:

    Dear <not my name>,

    Your npm package, <a pkg I've contributed to>, has been added to npm cdn: 
    https://npm-cdn.com/pkg/<pgk>/

    npm cdn relieves the burden of publishing your code to 
    a CDN in addition to the npm registry. All you need to 
    do is add a link to https://npm-cdn.com/pkg/<pkg>/ to 
    your README file so that the users of <pkg> could embed 
    up-to-date version of your javascript files to their 
    web apps without additional steps..

Since I've only contributed a patch or two I presume they got my email address from scraping GitHub.

Setting several CDNs to backup all the repos somebody could find? If that's true, sounds like an attack to me.

There was a similar thing a while back with Facebook cache servers killing little severs Iran attack simply told them to cache an image with `...png?random=...` on the end.

Still, waiting to hear from GitHub themselves - not too many things that can bring down a massive service like this!

How is this related?

A possible tempest of incoming email and/or increased npm traffic.
