  It doesn't matter, you should still contact someone technical about it, especially if she actualy said "more stars on their git". Put that quote in your message! They might be glad to know she's filtering candidates based on that, because they can talk to her about it. It could lead to you getting an interview. What's the worst that could happen?

  Having worked at very big successful companies and being heavily involved in the hiring process: We know recruiters don't always get it right. We need them, because creating and maintaining hiring pipelines is a full-time job, but we know (and the recruiters should also know!) that they're working on a best-understanding of the job they're recruiting for, and that best-understanding is not a complete understanding, since they don't do that job. It might have been a miss on their understanding of an explanation, it might have been a miss on whoever communicated the job requirements to them. But if you have a contact outside of the recruiter, you should 100% reach out.
