Okay, sure. But if we have an account which has never had any legitimate activity on it ever - an account that has only ever been used to push malware - then I don't know if it matters much who is the "rightful owner" of the account. Things would be different if the GitHub account had some legitimate activity before the "hack".

I agree it doesn't matter much. Could be a noob mistake by the account owner and this is damage control.
