This rules out good developers who work/worked at places that limit open source contributions.

  Also opens the door to a lot of ultra-low-effort open source contributions that are done for the sake of it :/ I help maintaining a quite popular package ATM, I prefer when people do it for pragmatic reasons or for passion, rather than to improve their GitHub stats :/

    But you can see them and filter out the low quality contributions. And ask about the good ones.

      Totally true, but I was talking more from a package maintainer PoV.

      Filtering them out and dealing with the resulting drama is an additional drain on the maintainers' time.
