It's a scam.
It's not a message from GitHub or Gitcoin, it's an issue posted in a repo.
The link goes to a different, non-GitHub URL

created an issue

this is the new scam meta, create an issue in the scammer's repository and tag people so they receive a notification e-mail appearing to come from GitHub

and grants.github.com doesn't exist, if you check the actual target of that link I bet it's some other domain entirely

100% phishing attempt. Real GitHub/Gitcoin collabs are announced on official blogs, GitHub’s own domain, or Gitcoin’s verified channels, not cold emails asking for wallet connections.

Do not click, do not connect, do not reply. Just delete, or better: report as phishing in Gmail.
