GitHub has been sending me an email every two seconds.

On a GitHub repo that I was watching, some Chinese spammers created 60,000 issues.

The result seems to be a queue of 60,000 emails, steadily hitting my inbox for two days straight.

No amount of settings changes on GitHub makes a difference.

Nice work GitHub!

Had something similar happen once — easiest fix was just unwatching the repo and setting notifications to participating only. Also worth adding a temporary email filter so your inbox stays usable while it settles down.
