          Got this response from GitHub's vuln program: "Thanks for the submission! As noted on our website, typosquatting is out of scope and ineligible for reward under the GitHub bounty program." (https://bounty.github.com/ineligible#typosquatting)

          Fair enough. But I wish something could be done, regardless of the reward.

              @jviide

              Imagine using one of the names of the slopmachines like this...

              Even if the code is rubbish no one would notice (or check), and the majority would just merge it anyway as long as the tests succeeded.

              Also, thanks for making me laugh out loud. And loathe Github even more.
