So many places seem to require a github profile in their form.

There is never anything wrong with writing "n/a" in any kind of form. There was a long overlap during which any form that took contact details already had fields for email address and mobile phone number, but before either of those were as ubiquitous as they are today; nobody processing those forms ever ignored one with "n/a" for email address.

Granted, it might be less prudent to skip some fields than others, of course.

Disable their client side validations and find out if they bothered with server side validations...

Good job. All projects vacuously have clean READMEs and concise commit history.
