tl;dr:
I got an email from github threatening to start billing me, and have<br>eliminated most reasons why it would have arrived, and my qgis<br>association is next.
For background, I've had a github account for a long time, but never<br>signed up for a paid plan or given them billing information. I have<br>been a listed member of a few organizations, that I "left" a few months<br>ago as the tone of paid services and AI increased, since they were<br>defunct anyway.
A few days ago I got email, purporting to be from github, delivered via<br>sendgrid, and DKIM signed from github. So I suspect it's really from<br>them. Trimming parts that aren't useful enough for anyone to read:
You're receiving this because your organization is using the GitHub<br>Code Quality public preview. As we shared on June 16, Code Quality<br>moves to general availability on *July 20, 2026*. This email covers<br>the details: what you'll pay, what's included, and how to prepare.
*Pricing*
Code Quality is priced as a *base subscription plus metered usage* :
Component How it's billed What it covers *Per-committer license* $10<br>per active committer per month Enterprise access to Code Quality:<br>findings, scoring, Rulesets integration, Security Overview, and<br>org-level governance *AI-powered usage* Usage-based (AI Credits)<br>Copilot code review on Code Quality-enabled repos, AI-assisted<br>detection, Copilot Autofix generation *Deterministic analysis* GitHub<br>Actions minutes CodeQL-powered maintainability and reliability scans —<br>fast, predictable, and token-free
Active committers are counted on repositories where Code Quality is<br>enabled, using the same active-committer methodology as GitHub<br>Advanced Security. For more information, you can review our<br>documentation here (<br>https://docs.github.com/billing/concepts/product-billing/github-code-quality<br>).
*How to prepare*
* If you have a GitHub or Microsoft account team, reach out to them with any questions. They have a pricing calculator and can model costs based on your actual usage.<br>* Evaluate your repository coverage. Decide which repositories should continue with Code Quality enabled after July 20. Disabling Code Quality on a repository before July 20 means no charges for that repository.
More details are available in our documentation ( https://docs.github.com/code-security/concepts/about-code-quality ).
You are receiving this because you’re a part of GitHub Sponsors.
As for sponsors, I am not enrolled, and I have not sponsored anyone. So<br>their email is wrong.
I wonder:
- is qgis using "Code Quality" and somehow because I have a clone,<br>have filed issues/etc. I got it?<br>- did others get this?<br>- any thoughts on whether this is confused, vs underhanded, and is<br>anyone worried about surprise bills?
