No mystery there; “stargazing” is one the public [1] social networking features that GitHub provides, and the email address that you write to your Git commits [2] becomes public when you share those commits on the internet.

In Tell HN: OpenBB scraping GitHub emails for marketing spamHi all,
I'm the Didier Lopes from the e-mail.
Sorry for this. This was not intentional The goal was to let all you know about the rebrand of the project, ONLY.
We would have removed every single one of you from the newsletter.
See this thread: https://github.com/OpenBB-finance/OpenBBTerminal/issues/1625

Not nice, but semi-reasonable. Stash the pitchforks.

Here is the GitHub link[0] to report abuse. I send this short text[2]. Generally I'm ok to be contacted by email and I think I'm quite tolerant regarding this as long as I don't receive a spam saying that I subscribed to a newsletter while I have not.

A recent post[0] went around about OpenBB. I starred their GitHub[1] repository because I was interested and now I've just received an email[2] thanking me for signing up for their newsletter.
Look, I hate to call the project out but I'm tired of people scraping GitHub for emails and blasting out marketing spam. And I'm confident they scraped my email from GitHub because that's the only place 'github@mydomain.com' is used.
