GitHub needs to step up its security game in general. 2FA should be made mandatory. GitHub "Actions" are a catastrophe waiting to happen - very few people pin Actions to a specific commit, they use a tag of the Action that can be moved at will. A malicious author could instantaneously compromise thousands of pipelines with a single commit. Also, PR diffs often hide entire files by default - why!?!

Maybe accounts should even require ID verification. We can't afford to fuck around anymore, a significant share of the world's software supply chain lives on GitHub. It's time to take things seriously.
