And note that a phone number is the number for calling a telephone, not some jumped-up pager. They want a mobile number so they can send you SMS messages. I hate SMS, and I deplore it's use as a part of any kind of security protocol.

If you don't intend to speak to me, you don't need my phone number. If you do, then my (VOIP) landline will serve you fine.

I would amend that just a little: If I don't intend to have you speak to me, you don't need my phone number.

Is "your policies must be fully consistent with any advice given in any of your open source repos" really a standard we should hold big companies to? Because if we treat open-sourcing a text file of recommendations as the company making a statement or commitment to that effect, companies will be way more limited in what they allow their engineers to make public this way. With chilling effects that go beyond semi-humorous recommendations. ("Do you really want to try to open-source this library? You know how frustrating Legal and PR can be to deal with...")

I don't think that term means what you think it means.

What I'm trying to say is that there is a thing that is positive and we'd like to see more of (companies releasing things as open source) and there is an adjacent thing that we are considering pushing back against (companies including things in their repos which conflict with their actions). While it should be possible to discourage only the latter, in practice the effect would spill over to the former.
