From Read Luigi Mangione’s Resume - Ken Klippenstein I found https://github.com/lnmangione. At the moment he has 2.5k followers on this account. Which is quite a lot for github, and I am guessing 100% accrued in the past few days. AFAIK there is no way to get the history of the metric.

      This account just has a few cursory demo projects in it; very little activity. I assume if you work in development you make an account like this just as a placeholder. I think more interesting is the traffic of others subsequent to his arrest.
