It's hard to say. Some employers will be pleased, impressed, and weigh in open-contributions. Others won't care in the slightest.

If nothing else I've found such things can come up in interviews, and be useful points of reference. It's better to say "Yes I've done XX, YY, ZZ and you can see examples in this project I published .." than to not have good examples.
