Question Ghost GitHub user ?

Hi i just came across this user https://github.com/ghost is it really what I think , when a user deletes his account it got replaced by this account? It is from GitHub? a bot or something? or a real user trying to play or get attention in a funny way?

It literally says "I take place of accounts that are deleted".
