Hi GitHub Community,

My account truman-world has been suspended and I'm unable to log in.
I have already submitted a support ticket (#4225235), but I'm also posting
here in case anyone from GitHub staff or the community can help.

What happened before the suspension:

I was preparing my open-source project PicHub
for public release. Before making the repository public, I performed the following
legitimate operations:

1. Used git filter-repo to remove sensitive data (production logs with PII,
   server IPs) from commit history — this required multiple force pushes
2. Deleted and re-created version tags (v1.0.0–v1.0.7) to re-point them after
   the history rewrite
3. Ran multiple GitHub Actions workflows to build multi-platform Docker images
   (amd64 + arm64) — some failed and were retried

I believe these activities triggered automated suspension. None of this was
malicious — it was standard open-source hygiene work before a public release.

Current impact:

• Cannot access my account or repository
• Docker images on GHCR are affected
• Support ticket submitted: #4225235

Has anyone experienced a similar situation? How long did resolution take?

Any help or advice from GitHub staff or community members is appreciated. 🙏
