Yes, that is the intention :)

Instead of using GitHub as a public log, it's possible to use a publicly verifiable cryptographic log: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Binary_Transparency https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Binary_Transparency
That would move the trust from GitHub to that public log. However, GitHub provides us not just the "publicly verifiable update" part, but also the "authenticated update" part. In other words, how do you know that the person putting something in a blockchain is the owner of the website? You'd need a public key, and then not lose it, etc. But it's indeed possible.
