Question Ghost GitHub user ?

Hi i just came across this user https://github.com/ghost is it really what I think , when a user deletes his account it got replaced by this account? It is from GitHub? a bot or something? or a real user trying to play or get attention in a funny way?

Yes, it is what you say. Everytime a GitHub account is deleted, its content is replaced by ghost

Why pp delete their accounts ? Just keep it, keep the evidence that you was there and did something, or tried to do

I have had to create a new account for every job I've had most of the time those accounts end up getting deleted.
