I had my username (three letters, my initials) taken and replaced with initials + underscore + number (xxx_123). No comment from GH or even alert they were changing it. I guess someone with friends at GH decided they wanted it. What can you do...

that's almost what the author did here, they found an "unused" github handle that they liked: "yg" and wrote to support to claim it. No need to have friends at GH.
