I only see this in relatively small and "young" teams. In any bigger organization I've worked in, a new user is created for each person who uses the machine.

I have a script that looks at your github org/team and generates/updates users on-demand then lets you connect.

The script is pretty straightforward, see AuthorizedKeysCommand and https://github.com/{$user}.keys

Certainly, but in my org they're trusted with sudo access (which gets logged to syslog).
