Quite frankly, I think you're overdoing it. For important projects, there will always be people who have a reasonably up to date copy somewhere. git is decentralized and not every clone/fork is hosted on github. The presence of the code on github is of little importance in this context. He only removed his account and the master tree. Since he is the copyright holder for the original version of his OSS, he has the right to do so. The "community" should be thankful for the time and effort he put into his software in the past and respect his decision.
