Many of the repos I found were clones of valid projects with same names under new orgs and new users. For instance, this projects is valid: https://github.com/scala-network/GUI-miner and it's infected clone: https://github.com/stellitecoin/gui-miner

GPG signed commits by the legitimate users do not contain the malware

Considering that only clones are affected, your original tweet is downright wrong. None of the listed projects (python, js, bash, docker, k8s) are affected. Anybody can fork a repository to introduce malware.
js is a project?
You're right. It's not. I just copy-pasted the list from the tweet. I assume that the author meant to write jq.
