Lying on your resume is an explicit attempt to deceive a prospective employer.
Lying on Github (and then presumably not using it on an actual job application), you're only fooling those who are willing to be fooled.
If someone is going to scrape data off the web about people and evaluate it for prospective candidates, the burden of separating the signal from the noise is on them, the internet is full of bullshit. You're obviously mucking with their process, but you didn't ask to be included in it either. No different than assuming all the content on blogs isn't plagiarized and then trying to use that to proposition people to be authors.
