That rule sucks. I want to keep work and personal separated.

Work account should be pro and paid by the company then.

If I'm considering reporting a bug I came across in a free-software project while at work, that's already something I probably couldn't justify with a strict cost-benefit calculation for my employer.

In practice my employer would be happy for me to spend my time doing it anyway, because it's the right thing to do. But asking them to pay Github for the privilege is pushing it.
