I bet they're fine with it. They have invested a great deal of engineering effort in building a notification system that scales - there are plenty of legitimate uses for that system that dwarf this clever hack in terms of traffic (issues with hundreds or even thousands of subscribers).
If I were them I would be delighted at someone using my work in an unexpected and creative way like this - having users surprise you like this (provided it's not for abuse or spam) is one of the joys of software design.
You could figure out the actual impact by counting the number of individual subscribers to all of the issues in this repo. My guess it's not even a hundred yet.
