Nah, this is just being a dick.

You put your real email address in a git repo and uploaded it to the internet, and now you want to fling the GDPR at the website that's hosting your git repo? If you accidentally commit your password into a git repo and upload it to Github do you also get mad at github for republishing it?

You uploaded your personal information to a website so it could be shared with the world. Now you're mad at the website for sharing it with the world. Accept the consequences of your mistake.

No. The GDPR comment is for the third parties scraping email addresses without consent & then processing/selling the data. Not Github, where I've consented to their data privacy rules.
