I strongly disagree with this.  The benefits for collaboration from being able 
to easily see who has forked your repo, to post comments on their code asking 
about upstreaming, and so on are huge.

GitHub is far more than just a hosting service (though one that has an issue 
tracker that integrates tightly with the revision control system, and a decent 
code review system), it’s also a social platform and that’s where the majority 
of its value lies.
