This shouldn't be something where we're relying on recollection.

Presumably github repo privacy state has an audit trail. This would allow GH to prove / disprove claims on any given repo easily. I hope a rep steps in to do so.

Yeah I agree. Tried https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39771541 but there's nothing related to this repo. Does GitHub send an email out when you make something public? I don't have any emails related to this repo.

I just upgraded the tool at https://observablehq.com/@simonw/github-public-repo-history to use lowercase comparisons (previously it was case sensitive) so it's worth having another look.
