Good to know. There was a similarly popular project that didn't get this benefit (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31033758).

8 years ago someone accidentally deleted the elasticsearch repository (thinking it was their private fork ). Back then everything was restored, so I hope we get there again this time too

I hope so too.

I'm the maintainer of a reasonably popular project (~9K stars) and it's certainly a nightmare scenario given that I consider the stars to give it credibility in a crowded space.
