Attempts to sell, buy, or solicit other forms of payment in exchange for account names are prohibited and may result in permanent account suspension.

Not all activity on GitHub is publicly available, therefore users scraped here may still technically be active (even though they appear to be inactive).
If you are active and want to be removed from these lists, feel free to submit a PR!
