i had the same problem and built something similar but with a different approach. greens (https://github.com/yuvrajangadsingh/greens) is a CLI that runs locally on your machine. it mirrors commit activity from your private/work repos to a personal repo via a cron job. no tokens shared with any third party, no web app, no account.

the tradeoff vs your approach is it only works going forward (can't backfill years of history), but nothing ever leaves your machine.

to answer your honest question #1: yes, this is a real problem. i posted about it on linkedin and the response was way bigger than i expected. lots of devs working at companies where all their output is invisible on their public profile.
