I must have committed to the right GitHub repository: Swedish recruiters have now found me, within a month of coming back to Sweden.

Haha that sounds like the mafia are after you. "The Swedish recruiters have found me!!" -- make a run for it! I guess maybe you updated your resume with your new location? They tend to get shared around.
Martijn
I don't have a public resume anywhere, apart from my LinkedIn page. But as the email was sent directly to me and not through LinkedIn (like most recruiter-spam) they must have picked up on me somewhere else. I will ask them how they got to me, as I am honestly interested in how that process works.
Mark Dain
Maybe the Illuminati have branched out to doing recruitment efforts or things other than running the world? They want you, Martijn, to write code for this shell company!

I do know of some organizations that follow repositories for interesting commits, so it's possible you actually did commit to the right repo. :)
Mark Dain
Interesting... so hypothetically if someone wanted a new job, what repo would they commit to? Asking for a friend...
Mark Dain
It's cool that exists, although I don't know Python. Perhaps I should learn as everyone keeps talking about it. I code in PHP and Go

Look up what libraries your favourite organisations use. However, I have no idea how commonplace this is or how likely it is to land you an email.
