Considering that it's Github, how about things relevant to software engineering, like: agree, disagree, support, insightful, obsolete, misleading. I can't imagine it being helpful to know that someone felt "heart" about an issue comment.

Heart is probably a supersized +1 for pull requests and a nod to Aaron Peterson.

Perhaps he meant Aaron Patterson (https://github.com/tenderlove) "tenderlove"? Not sure.

this was my initial reaction is well. It seems like this will just add to the noise and not help large open source projects get work done.
