I don't think it's really that simple. especially the deletion requirements. There are just so many IT systems that really don't support deletion. An absolute worst case I can imagine is GitHub being asked to delete an account which had commits in multiple large projects. Are they going to alter those projects source code?

This is already a “solved problem” though. If you post copyrighted material to Github, Github will have to remove it.

If you’re posting users information to a public repo, then you fully deserve whatever impacts you’ll face when you have to delete it.

Like their name and email address in every commit they submit?

I've already seen a notice from GitLab requiring me to consent to waive my rights to have that info deleted if, e.g. I were to contribute to the GitLab open source project. But I'm not sure that that's even enough for GDPR.
