That’s why you shouldn’t use GitHub…

    GitHub is IMO only partly to blame, the DMCA process itself is fucked up.

    However they could improve this

    https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/content-removal-policies/dmca-takedown-policy#a-how-does-this-actually-work

    User Notifies GitHub of Changes. If the user chooses to make the specified changes, they must tell us so within the window of approximately 1 business day.

    1 business day? According to whom schedule? That is awfully short. What if the DMCA notice is sent late on a friday night (from the repo owner’s perspective)? Is GitHub considering the week-end to be exempt from a business day?

    What if the DMCA is sent to a repo owner during a national holiday? Is that day exempted from the time frame?

    A business day is way too vague and short in this age when everyone is working at a different time frame.
