Remove security advisory credits from my profile

[NotMyFault]

Hey,

A while back, I was experimenting with the reporting tool chain and the web form. The acceptance of my findings led to a vast amount of false credits on my profile.
Hereby, I request to remove all security advisory credits from my GitHub profile because they don't belong to me :P

Thanks in advance!

Hey @NotMyFault! Good to hear from you and thank you again for all the findings you reported during that process!

We automatically credit folks who do community contributions on the advisory. However, this has led to complaints that it confuses contributions with initial reporters.

Thus, we're doing work right now to create different types of credits– a type for initial reporters, a type for contributors, etc.

If the type of credit you've received is delineated in that way, would you still want to have no credit at all?

I can tell, this is the reasoning why I opened this issue :)

That would be great! The current layout makes it look like I have been credited for various advisories when I just modified them. If that's going to change in the future, I'm fine with them staying on my profile, I just don't want it to seem like I actually reported these vulnerabilities.

Noted, thanks @NotMyFault! We'll update this issue when we have that released. Cheers!
