Super cool. Yeah sure the stars help boost popularity but I actually like the approach. Just like https://utteranc.es/ https://utteranc.es/ uses GH issues as a way to store data, I was thinking about how stars can be used as opt-in for things just the other day.
Also do note that the "Contributions" section is misleading. Without looking into it I'm quite sure it's only pulling contributions for the current calendar year - I also know that's the info GH gives you on that endpoint if you don't want to keep iterating over commit lists until you get to the end.
That then paints a wrong picture of someone's contributions to projects over time :D A quick note about this would "solve" this by making the tradeoff explicit.
