From what it looks like it's a brand new coder. I hope he sticks with it, because this will be one hell of a story he can tell...
I was on the receiving end of this. The notifications continued to pour in for another few minutes after I unsubscribed from the thread, totaling 104 by the time the madness stopped.
The toothpaste is out of the tube - notifications are going to be scrutinized more in the future, from this point on. I got the email. And about 20+ responses to that email. Every person who replies to that issue triggers another 400k emails. Personally, my email client is crashing. EpicGames, as a GitHub org is an outlier, it's basically an SSO for Unreal Engine. I forgot I was even a member of it.
There was a thundering herd e-mail at Amazon about 10 years ago that I’ve heard stories about. It went on for days. There’s a funny internal talk with lots of data about it, maybe it’s on YouTube by now…

friendly reminder: 400k is an apertif for a competently configured production postfix server. its about 14 seconds of mail, and about 8 seconds optimized at hw and filesystem level. the real issue here is shitty projects from shitty companies.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
It doesn’t really fix the “vulnerability” though? Some other jerk can open a new PR and tag everyone again. Or just tag @EpicGames/developers elsewhere, no PR needed.
Looks like they dealt with the tag too as https://github.com/orgs/EpicGames/teams/developers is showing not found
