Hey buddy, why did you think scraping GitHub repos for committer email addresses to subscribe them to your mailing list without their consent was a good idea?

We did not scrape or purchase any personal data. We discovered your GitHub profile and open-source projects, found them interesting, and manually looked up a contact email to send a one-time outreach message.

We apologize if this was unwanted or disruptive. Your can send your email here, we will removed from our outreach list and you will not receive further messages from us.

Thank you for the feedback.

One-time outreaches do not consitute opt-out sign-ups to mailing lists without the target party's clear consent or even awareness. They also don't repeat themselves as of July 2nd 2026 UTC and do not necessitate any form of mailing list at all, when a one-time BCC blast would've achieved communicated intent.

This flies in the face of various information protection legislation distinguishing legitimate conduct from spam, usually specifying in no uncertain terms, that such registration should be submitted by parties expressing interest through a clear, unambiguous opt-in form.

But hey, maybe you or your jurisdiction simply treat others' consent, as you do your own.
