Exactly. Do normal development on the main fork. Then when a build needs to be made, squash push to the other fork. I'm not sure exactly how we scripted cutting off the history to avoid "blowing" up the other repo, but there was a check in place.
this happened after I was less involved with that one project inside the company. I would probably have tried to rewrite some of the history, but I'm not sure how badly it would have impacted say, the JIRA <> github referencing, exicting pull requests, which is information I would have liked to keep. Maybe noone ever uses that information either, who knows.
hum, dunno how it could impact hosting providers. I would say you cannot erase everything unless you remove the entire repo, but I'm not sure. In doubt, I recommend asking questions to everyone involved in the process, including "non-technical" people, to determine what should be kept.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

It's a valid approach, but the only inconvenience is indeed the scripting part, as you have take all edge cases into account.
