Who follows users on GitHub? Repos, branches, issues, PRs, sure. But users?

I follow TodePond because they have funny repos and star weird stuff.

I have 13 followers on GitHub. A few are friends from college, the rest I have absolutely no clue why.

Some people (like myself and other scientists/mathematicians), write software for specific fields so if you follow them you find it out what work they are putting out, and issues they find in other software etc.
