I'm not sure that I understand this statement, could you elaborate?

I would expect that the people who need to trust a TLD (consumers, I would presume) are not the same people who even know what GitHub is (developers, mostly, I would presume.)

Maybe he means search engine trust; PageRank. It’s plausible that Google factors in, when calculating the PageRank of a site, the TLD of the site and the proportion of bad/spammy sites that use that TLD.
