I agree its better than having nothing to show or talk about, but I wish hiring the right person was that easy. There is a lot of junk in Github and there are lots of smart developers outside the Github community.

Yes there's junk on Github. But I can see that and I can say "no, this person is not a good fit" before I hire them. :)
