Do Github publish post-mortems?

Incidents spiked recently and I wonder what's repeatedly causing the issue.

Mistakes (preventable or not) can happen, but repeated failures is a systematic issue.

It also seems like the HN mods want to downplay the GitHub outages.

It's the second day in a row now where the main HN post about GitHub downtime has had "GitHub" edited out of the post title.

That's standard for HN and explicit in the guidelines linked in the footer. No need to include the company/domain in the title, and it should match that on the submitted page. Which is 'Incident with Actions' as it reads here (now) too.

You don't see these edits happening as regularly with other submissions, though.

It's not like OP is running out of space in the HN title, either. How is "Incident with Actions" more user-friendly than including "GitHub outage" in the headline?

Furthermore, the subtitle of the OP is "Incident Report for GitHub," so why not just include this if we need to follow the rule so carefully?
