GitHub is great for discoverability, not exactly "community". Because GitHub is a high-ranking and trusted site some of it's "creditability" can wash-off onto one's own project.

Stars are a vanity metric but, they can help with monitoring some early growth.

Everyone on this thread should list their projects, then we all star each others stuff all the way up!

Yeah discoverability is a good point, although I don't think I've ever used Github that way (generally I discover Git repos from a URL), I'm sure some people do!
