To be exact, markyjackson duplicated the commit for the comment delimiter feature on 2010-01-18, and claimed himself as the sole author of ciscoconfparse (see bottom of this github issue for a screenshot). I am speculating, but perhaps Mr Jackson cherry-picked this commit because it was one where I commited to ciscoconfparse as the "django" username, instead of my username (which shows up as myself in the repo).
My bug pointed out that there were obvious problems with Mr Jackson claiming sole authorship of my previous commits; however, I had no problem with him forking my repository as long as he gave me proper credit for the source code. This bug was never acknowledged by Mark Jackson on github; however, on June 27th, 2014, I received the following anonymous email, stating that this was a "mistake" while trying to contribute to my repository. The github/markyjackson account was subsequently deleted.
However, Mark Jackson created another identity as github/markyjackson5 on August 18, 2014; markyjackson5's repositories include the same content as the original "github/markyjackson":
To cite a specific example, when markyjackson5 when uploaded Cisco/cisco_parse_test.py, he neglected to change his hyperlinks in other parts of that repo, which pointed to the original markyjackson github account. Search for "markyjackson" in this file: markyjackson5/Cisco/rtrdef-master/README.md.
