Since most people’s work is going to be in private repos, Ive always thought the most consistently valuable signal is the contribution graph.

But that’s just my opinion.

And some of us are contributing to private repos hosted on bitbucket or gitlab. Just saying.

For sure, I'm not saying it's a universally valuable signal, just the most valuable one relative to other signals on a github profile.
