Is it common practice for a corporation to release code via one user's Github account? I would expect that if Twitter were open-sourcing something, it would show up as something like https://github.com/twitter/storm (that link is 404, to save you the trouble).
This is really more nathanmarz's Storm more than Twitter's Storm. He wrote it at BackType with the intention of open sourcing it, and when Twitter bought BackType they apparently didn't ask him not to. So, it makes sense that it's being released through his Github account. If Twitter uses it significantly internally, they'll clone it to their organization account, like they did for most of the projects that are on Twitter's Github profile.
