## Report or appeal a listing

Include the GitHub username or profile URL and explain what you want added, corrected, or removed. For a report, link to public examples such as pull requests or comments.

> Keep private evidence out of GitHub issues.

## Review matches in Tripwire

On a connected GitHub repository, install **Pilot** from **Rules → Library → Shared blocklists**. Once Tripwire is active on the repository, it checks the GitHub account ID of each new pull request author against the active list.

> **Example**
>
> A listed account opens pull request #42. The pull request stays open and appears in **Human review**. A maintainer can inspect the run for the match and choose **Approve** or **Block**.

The snapshot includes a GitHub account ID, username, reason, and expiry for each listing. An expiry of `null` means the listing has no scheduled end. [Published JSON snapshot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Boring-Software-Inc/Pilot/published/snapshot.json).
