I'm not sure that's always a positive. I'm not saying it should be this way, but there are very many companies and industries where a long open source development history won't be seen as a reflection of what the developer can do in a job. Not all companies are going to take an interest in GitHub history. I think the majority of development jobs are with companies that have a skepticism of their employees contributing to open source projects because they don't understand it and are worried about their IP being co-opted into open source.
