Judging someone by github activity is pointless unless you're hiring for open source and take the effort to see how they interact with community. I've seen lots of github profiles that look amazing on paper and then when you dig in they just went around to projects changing spelling/pronouns/punctuation in other projects. It's much faster to phone screen people after a simple resume read rather than deriving signals that can be gamed like github.
