Being dependent on jQuery and underscore for this library adds a hell of a lot of weight to just being able to talk to the github API - it's going to be worth looking at what you actually use from both, and ideally shimming that if jquery and/or underscore are not available. Compared to the huge size of both, the shim is likely tiny, but immensely valuable in settings where neither is loaded.
