No it doesn't, people need to stop thinking we have psychics power that can read your mind or something.
What do you mean exactly by this, what uses would it have, maybe give a bit more details of what you have in mind so we could discuss about it.

Basically, most every other website even remotely related to coding has a 'login with github' option. We should add this.

Such as Stack Overflow? Wait… it doesn't have that option. What about pastebin? It doesn't either…

Examples please?

And I find it highly convenient, at the very least

Basically, several websites with a focus on software development have a 'login with github' option.

Fixed it for you.

What would we gain from linking our Github accounts to a discussion forum?
I understand that it might be useful for something like Cloud9, importing and exporting code from Github sure sounds convenient, but I can't really see the point in the context of a forum…
