This hardly seems like a real problem, so let's not worry more about it until someone actually needs help solving this.
For Andrew, it would have been a real problem, so IMO it's better to be prepared for it and let potential new contributors know that we can help resolve the issue.
Otherwise, people who potentially have a problem wouldn't even consider contributing via the new Github workflow, which can't really be in our interest.
The problem can hardly be unique to Python, can it? Thousands of well-known open source projects are now on GitHub. Also note Alex's comment that it has literally never come up for Django (which IMO has a healthier ration of contributors than core Python).
