So I got confused about the purpose of it. I was referring to something similar we have on the https://strimzi.io/ (top right side) where we have links and one of them is using GitHub icon but pointing to Strimzi repo.
I see your reference to GitHub repo could be easily lost in the text a few lines above together with the Slack one.
I think using recognizable icons for visitors is much better ... I got confused as it could happen to any other visitor imho.
