Quite opposite. Github is an anti-resume for dedicated hackers. You should not mention it, if you want to get 'normal' job in some corporation.

- github shows you spend too much time programming outside of daily job

- it shows how much more productive you are outside of work, possibly creating some uncomfortable questions for your boss.

- running project with 10K+ users could interfere with your daily job

- companies prefer younger 'not so much' experienced people who just follow

- most companies have strict ban on any open-source activities outside of job, advanced Githubers are filtered out even before interview.
