What sort of request volume did you get? How many per day were you sending out?

On average, zero per day, maybe 5 to 10 per year.

At scale, there are a lot of confused people who do unexpected stuff. The maintainer of cURL has people contact him when a notice shows up in car software or when they think he is connected to hacking:

At FSF, someone would call every month thinking they had been "hacked" and that FSF was responsible because they found "evidence left behind" (the GPL).
