Improved github-is-down error messages?

I'm looking for better error messaging I think.

These two screenshots are current situation:

I am assuming component failing above is due to the github outage.

If this is true, slightly better error messaging would help.

For instance we could append this simple text:

...
It appears that Github is experiencing a service outage.
Please check https://status.github.com and try again once service is restored.
