One down side to the github provided analytics is that projects may be restricted in how they can make use of those analytics in e.g. presentations. Github has previously asserted that those analytic outputs are subject to a license grant from github and requested sign off in the form of a user agreement.
I don't doubt that many many people make reference to them without bothering to check on the legal status, nor that many uses are probably within the bounds of fair use. But the ASF should probably keep the matter in mind.
