There's a perverse bias here that's almost in strange loop territory. To submit a site, you have to file an issue on GitHub. If you consider developers who use GitHub vs developers who don't/won't use GitHub... it seems that any given developer in the former set is more likely to be using JS on their homepage than those in the latter set. Regardless of anything, given the subtleties of the way the system is designed, it's important to understand that this is not, as will be popularly interpreted, a "list of people with homepages that don't use JS", but instead "a list of people on GitHub who have homepages that don't use JS".

If you want to add a site but don't use github, feel free to email me.

  (For anyone wondering why someone might not use GitHub, comments like the above are a good example. On GitHub, nobody recognizes the distinction between an error report and a support request.)

    The only thing I'm wondering is why you felt it necessary to add this strangely patronizing comment. The GP voiced a simple complaint, not an "error report" or a "support request".

      You are wrong about 'not an "error report"'. What you are calling a complaint was an error report. The person who responded ("If you want to add a site but don't use github, feel free to email me") did so in a way that would make sense if it were a support request. As a response to an error report, it's a non-sequitur. The inability to distinguish between support requests and error reports is precisely the reason for the "patronizing comment"—exactly as stated in the comment itself. So where's your confusion coming from?

Yeah, the 250kb club had a couple users submit initial criticism for the same reason; it responded by mirroring on sr.ht and setting up mailing lists, giving others the choice to use either.
