Is there a thread or task to solve the GitHub mention spam problem?  I 
realize individual cases can be solved pretty easily, but it is a 
recurring problem this week with WMF usernames.

Surprisingly, I can't find docs on this form of abuse, or ways to 
solve/mitigate it (e.g. only allowing mentions on repos you're involved in).
