Or they could’ve kept their bounty program running smoothly. But instead they pissed off another security researcher and received a zero days heads-up before public disclosure.

There is no excuse. GitHub runs a great program on HackerOne and it should just have been submitted there.

Also note that the person who found this was pissed because they had a difficult experience with submitting a bug for VSCode THREE YEARS AGO through MSRC which is _completely different_ than the GitHub H1 program and no doubt much more challenging with a different experience.

There is really no excuse for this irresponsible disclosure. They could have at least tried instead of holding a grudge for three years.
