I'm not talking about "responsible disclosure" and I'm not sure why people assumed I do.
If I see that a person has their fly open, I'd go and discretely alert them of that. Similarly, if someone has a note saying "I am stupid" taped to their back (which I think is a good analogy to what the spam on github is), I would do the same.
I wouldn't go shouting "hey, github has an 'I am stupid' sign taped on their back" in town square, which is what posting it on HN amounts to.
