The archive team should be able to get a very good compression ratio on that repo.
In GitHub Archive ProgramIt's a GitHub repository with a name consisting of 132 'e's, the maximum limit on GitHub [0][1].
People started contributing more and more esoteric code to print 'e' repeatedly in their favourite programming language. Eventually the repository was disabled, and the author got into a long-winded discussion with GitHub. Eventually the repository was archived [2].

e38e had become much like https://github.com/jezen/is-thirteen or https://github.com/jackdclark/five in my opinion. Except instead of being a silly NPM package it was a silly Rosetta Stone of programs that returned "e" in some way. The only difference was the ridiculous name that used the full character limit.
The Conway's Game of Life mentioned at the bottom of this blog was a thing of beauty, so I hope the creator is able to get an archive and recover it.
