The e-mail they sent includes "Unfortunately, we can confirm that you were impacted by this security event." which means that they know. I guess there is an API endpoint that is specific to Bash Uploader and they use that + dates of API requests to figure out who was impacted. This must also contain the repository info (and they just confirmed that they can figure this out).

That may be wrong. I use the ruby gem and the email says that would not be affected but at the same time the email says I was affected. I'm re-rolling to be sure, but it would help not having conflicting information in the same email.
