Here is the message where he found out what happened:

I didn't receive any information about it but when creating a support ticket I was told my account has been flagged and I had to do some extra verification. I've created a support ticket now and will keep you posted. I'll believe it's nothing major though, I use 2FA everywhere, the last commit on all repos is what I expect, and all sessions and usages look fine

Absolutely fuck Github and Microslop, they can just vanish your projects without notice whenever they want with barely any justification for it, and then take their sweet time to fix it too.

Idk what is "kitchenowl", but yesterday I had a situation where I need to create a github issue (well, I needed a software developer know about something, and the software is only hosted on github).

I created a new github account, created an issue, logged out and saw that my issue isn't there. Turns out my account was flagged. I tried to reach support, but github asks to enable 2FA for this. Added an authenticator.

Turns out, you still can't reach github support until you add and verify a phone number via SMS. No way I'm giving away my phone number to microsoft.

So, it's not possible to reach the support, there is no email address, and I can't create issues. What a joke. I wish people in FOSS community stopped using github.

In the end, I just found the dev's email address and sent them an email.
