The "is" seems to be used confusingly here. This reads better as either:

* GitHub's Packages Service is down

* GitHub Packages are down

You are getting down voted. I'll explain.

The name is GitHub Packages. It's singular. The use of "is" is correct here. GitHub uses "is" in similar circumstances as well.
