At least with Let's Encrypt, you can revoke a certificate issued by a different ACME account, as long the ACME account you are revoking from has a valid authorization for all of the DNS identifiers on the certificate being revoked.

Of course, this is useless if the certificates were issued under a different CA, so your point is still valid. Prevention is better :) !

Does this mean that if GitHub did what CloudFlare does and batched multiple domains they serve into the same cert you wouldn't be able to revoke it?

I guess with a 90-day expiry it's not that big of a deal...

Yeah, that's a good point too.
