Russian disinfo? You're joking, right? I don't know how to say this because I never thought I would need to, but the Russian government isn't shitposting in GitHub issues. It's almost certainly just some /g/ user trolling. It turns out there are sources of untrue things on the Internet other than massive shadowy Russian conspiracies to brainwash people. As far as I can tell, people have been telling lies on the Internet for a little while now.

Why do you think that? If Russia pays "troll farms" to shitpost on various social media websites for spread propaganda and forment doubt, why not GitHub as well? When react added a statement of support for Ukraine on their website, their GitHub repo was spammed to hell by mostly Chinese posters creating issues to complain. GitHub isn't some obscure thing nobody has ever heard of.

The message talks about the Russian army committing war crimes. I can imagine that if a Russian troll farm was behind this, they would invent some other story that didn't involve talking about Russian war crimes. Yes, they could be going out of their way to not sound like they are Russian, but this seems like a rather counterproductive way to do it from a Russian viewpoint.
