This seems... deeply idiotic on GitHub's part. Consider the following scenario:

1. A script/CI/etc is pulling the latest releases from the repository. 2. Ownership of the account is changed. 3. The new owner controls the contents of the repository, and can perform a supply chain attack.

I'm not sure GitHub would be liable there, but personally I wouldn't want to find out the hard way.
