Github dislikes email "aliases" so much that they will shadow ban your otherwise normal activities for months, and once flagged, support will request not only a "valid" email domain but also that you remove the "alias" email from the account completely.

What do you mean by email aliases?

Basically another email address that forwards everything to your main email.

How would they even detect that? Blacklist common alias providers?
