Prospective employee's use public showcasing as a meter stick for who's who. GitHub projects notably exemplify this -- not only is it a painless/cheap indicator of an employee's skillset, it also works for companies too.

Those that contribute in a meaningful manner to your open-source projects must meet certain standards and expectations, and finding such people is difficult. In this case they come to you.
