People have been banned from Github projects for stuff that they said on Twitter that had nothing to do with their activity in open source, because it "made other contributors feel unwelcome". If the thought police will want to dig up dirt on you, they will gladly turn to any other social media available.

This. There have been historical cases where off-project controversies have gotten people banned and with the recent announcement from Linus Torvalds, I do believe we'll see more of them in the future.
