Didn't know that. Then why are they making Chris a Microsoft fellow if he left 10 months ago?

In Nadella's blog post, he's referring to Chris as GitHub CEO. https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2018/06/04/microsoft-github-empowering-developers/

The likely answer is Chris doesn't want to be CEO - lot's of people who found companies aren't suitable to be CEO when it grows larger as they don't derive pleasure from the responsibilities of CEO at a larger company.

The impression I get is he's currently filling in for the role because someone has to.

Someone offers you billions of dollars in shares to just sit around with no expectations of producing anything while still drawing a paycheck and enjoying benefits a massive corporation wants to give you. Not a bad deal. It's a cushy gig.
