gh doesn't require cutting edge coding skills,
though. I guess we look for people who can really think through things and
come up with a good design. I think evaluating this is easier in interview
discussions than looking at code, especially if the evaluator has never
thought about the problem before.

It's not 20 hours a week, it's 20 hours once, only when looking for a job.

If you can't be bothered to put some brief, good code on github to review, why
would I be bothered to interview you?

well I've seen some local jobs asking for people who can contributed to the
core of Jquery or Prototype for example and their github accounts to go with
that. If this fits in with your previous job description like you say it
doesn't take long to tidy things up but being a really valid part of any open
source community whether takes a lot of time and is definitely comparable to
another part time job on top of a normal job

only shortsighted fools will require you to have all those although some may
ask but it's definitely not required
