I'm inclining on agreeing. Gaming commit counts and commit graphs on GitHub is already a thing. I've been asked by many recruiters why my commit graph on GitHub has gone stale, when I've worked at places that don't use GitHub, or if my commits are 99% of the time towards private repositories.
I can already see the resumes of developers touting their statistical brilliance from metrics gained from this tool. It's not a world I want to be a part of, to be honest.
