@github does automating more always equate to building better products, or just more of them?

@github Triage failing builds... followed by triaging failing deployments. Absolutely top of mind.

My GitHub account (KimYx0207) has been flagged. When I try to contact GitHub Support via support.github.com/contact, it redirects to an SMS verification page requiring a country code and mobile number.
However, China (+86) is not available in the country code dropdown, making it completely impossible for me to reach GitHub Support.
This is the same issue reported by other Chinese developers:
github.com/orgs/community… — "GitHub SMS Verification does not support china (+86) numbers"
github.com/orgs/community… — "Suspended account – unable to contact support due to SMS verification issue"
Why My Account Was Flagged
I am a legitimate open-source maintainer. I was using GitHub CLI (gh) to submit issues and create forks for awesome-list contributions. The rapid API calls likely triggered the anti-abuse system.
My Project
🔗 github.com/KimYx0207/Clau…
⭐ 1,800+ stars, 250+ forks
📚 22 tutorials (10 Claude Code + 12 OpenClaw), 130K+ words
🌍 The most comprehensive Chinese guide for Claude Code and OpenClaw
What I've Tried
❌ support@github.com — Email bounced (message blocked)
❌ support.github.com/contact — Blocked by SMS verification (China +86 not supported)
❌ support.github.com/contact/reinst… — Same SMS verification block
❌ Tweeted github.com/github with #GitHubSupport — No response yet
Request
Could a GitHub staff member please review and unflag my account? I have no other way to reach support because every channel requires SMS verification that doesn't work for China-based users.
This is a systemic issue affecting all Chinese developers whose accounts get flagged. Please consider adding China (+86) to the SMS verification system, or providing an alternative verification method (email, authenticator app, etc.).
Thank you! 🙏
