The 2) is exactly what happened at my place of work last week. The first developer to notice fingerprint mismatch message made a screenshot, alerted security and platform guys, then disconnected his computer and waited for further instructions.

The platform guys checked the situation, basically by going to Github's blog and reading about the change. Then provided company-wide heads-up on Slack. With guidelines how to remove old keys and check the fingerprints of new ones.

I strongly commend the first developer, his behaviour was professional and an example for others.
