| It was inactive for a long time [1]. I emailed GitHub about it and they gave it to us! [1]: https://web.archive.org/web/20201108093051/https://github.co... |

| Wow. For all the usernames I've ever tried getting (and failed cause they don't give out inactive usernames on most platforms), that's amazing. |
