Agreeing with the premises, let's call this what it is - a recommendation/curation problem, which a kind of thing that a trusted third-party usually does. Seems like it would fit as a Community Explorer blog/engine, as a separate presence.
Except we already have powerful personalities in the development space who already share their opinions and value systems - this is a natural extension of that. After all, a lot of choice of what is the "right" fork or even the "right" tool to begin with gets back to subjective developer experience and intuitive tech preferences. And that's something that a platform like GitHub should stay neutral to.
