No it is not. GitHub is an intrusive closed ecosystem and it
is legitimate concern for anyone caring about the open
internet. The fact that I have considered D contribution more
important than this concern and the fact that you consider
such reasoning silly does not make it less legit and/or
widespread.
Making a throwaway github account does not endorse github any
more than contributing to D another way does.
Erm, no? It is _exactly_ what is needed for endorsement here.
Just registering an account is a good enough support for majority
of the user base. Because that way you help those more actively
using the service to maintain expectations that there is no world
outside of it and anyone meaning business must join. This is like
"Social Ecosystems 101" basics, I am really worried by someone as
extremely competent as you thinking it doesn't matter.
