Yeah I mean, there are dozens of low effort websites already that scrape from Github for this. They are generally worthless. I think you need to think carefully so you don't just make another one of those.

Reviews might be a good differentiator, but obviously that's hard to get content for.

openbase did reviews and got up to 400k users. They couldn’t figure how monetize and shut down I think their blog post on it is still available somewhere.
