To be fair, personally I wouldn't think much of the law enforcement ones. We used to have a department for that at one of my previous gigs and it's mostly just uploading files and making sure the contacts line up with official contacts.
Yeah, it’s a good sign if anything. Any operation as big as GitHub and open to the public will need to have a way to verify and track requests from law enforcement agencies. There are going to be legitimate LE requests. The illegitimate requests (whatever happens with them) are not going through this portal, I guarantee.
