Please could @joinmarket delete the user account under that name.

We want to create an organisation to host repos under that name. Thanks.

Got this...

Thanks for getting in touch!

If you've already contacted them and weren't able to come to a resolution, you may wish to consider filing a trademark report. Please take a look at our GitHub Trademark Policy page for more information:

https://help.github.com/articles/github-trademark-policy

In order to have a complete report, please take a few minutes to list all of the required information in one document or email. Please be sure to include a federal or international trademark registration number if you have one, and be as detailed as possible in describing how the usage is confusing or misleading.

Best regards, GitHub Support

OK, thanks. I got this on 2 Dec:

Hey Adam,

If you'd like to send a polite message to the user asking them to rename their account so you could have the username, we would be happy to send it on your behalf.

They might be willing to give up the username or they might not. Either way, we will not contact the user on your behalf again.

If this sounds good to you, reply with the charming plea you'd like us to send to the user. If you'd like them to contact you directly, please include an email address for response.

Best,

I believe @chris-belcher sent them a message too, at least we discussed it. It would be better from him (certainly at the time, as he was the exclusive owner of the repo).

I must have forgotten to send any message, it's not in any sent email folder.

I'd say @AdamISZ reply to their email and ask them.

follow up? I worry that whoever has https://github.com/joinmarket/joinmarket/ may eventually use it in a malicious way.
