I think this is exactly why it's great, and it's basically turned into a GitHub advertisement. Either GitHub is simply unable to handle weird abuse methods and/or the abuse prevention is improved.

As an enterprise, wouldn't it be a bit concerning if your git host was unable to function (or respond appropriately) when presented with a random script kiddie?

This person didn't have bad intentions, but other people out there most definitely do.

GitHub is very much able to handle one person doing this. Doesn't matter if you had bad intentions or you were just ignorant to bad side effects.
