The article (2 years old) explains you could get someone's public keys from github and then compare them with other public keys (they mention on ssh servers) to see if a person is using the same key elsewhere.

The argument boils down to the fact that ssh will also give you a list of valid public keys.

It doesn't seem very critical to me, and anyone who is worried could just use a different key for github which is good practice anyway imo
