It's an automated bot, and it's an edge case that wasn't considered and is going to get fixed soon.

I’m satisfied that the situation has been, or at least will be, resolved.m however there is still the unanswered question of who audits the changes the bot makes.

There is a definitely lesson to be learnt here that bots aren’t infallible themselves and thus need reviewing too. Automation undoubtedly enhances our developer experience but we do need to ensure that automation doesn’t make unchecked changes. This is something a great many engineers can learn from too.

Is forking on Github edge case?
Apparently forking a 3rd party repo INTO the Microsoft github org is, yes.
