Comment:

 Today I added a `Link your github account` section to
 profiles.wordpress.org, following @melchoyce's mockups above.

 To link an account, which uses a GitHub application, simply go to your
 [https://profiles.wordpress.org/profile/edit/ profile edit screen] and go
 through the oAuth flow (It grants read-only access to your public
 information).

 The GitHub application remains Authorised on the GitHub account, just with
 next-to-no-permissions. Delinking the Github from your WordPress.org
 profile also removes the GitHub authorisation. Revoking access to the app
 from within GitHub also removes it from your WordPress.org profile.

 It's been live for a few hours, and a handful of users have already used
 it seemingly without problem, so I'm now posting here.

 Here's [https://profiles.wordpress.org/dd32/ My profile
 https://profiles.wordpress.org/dd32/] as an example.

 Remaining here, is still a way to link that into the props toolings, I'm
 not sure what the best option there is, but lets now focus on that part of
 this ticket.

 We could also look into ingestion of GitHub Issues/Commits/PRs/etc into
 the profiles activity stream.
