I agree, but I think such information should be available to all people. Some people will be doing this anyway, and they can hide this by using a transparent pixel.

There will also be plenty of people who put images on their profile like this with no interest in tracking the metrics.

What benefits do you feel you get from this over the view counting Github already does for you?

You can't view profile statistics right now. Personally, my intent was to demonstrate the concept. I don't have plans using it.
