1 year ago It looks like the @ChezScheme account has never had any public activity, and I recognize several of its 8 followers as people interested in Chez Scheme. I just happened to read in another context about the GitHub Username Policy and that they will sometimes reassign usernames in such cases. It sounds like the most direct way to request action currently is to submit a report under the trademark policy:
When we determine that an account appears to be confusing users, but is not purposefully passing itself off as the trademarked good or service, we give the account holder an opportunity to clear up any potential confusion. We may also release a username for the trademark holder's active use.
Apparently you can submit reports about unregistered trademarks. (I don't know if they were ever registered, and IANAL, but, in 1999, "Chez Scheme, Petite Chez Scheme, and the Cadence logo [were] trademarks of Cadence Research Systems.")
(To be clear, I have no reason to suspect anything ill-intentioned: it just seems very possible that someone may have created the @ChezScheme account in 2013 and never logged into it again.)

@ChezScheme, would you be willing to give the Chez Scheme committers the username ChezScheme on GitHub for use as an organization?
