Gotchas

The listing is a pull request against a public repository, so whichever GitHub account is signed in is the one whose name goes on it publicly.
The repository carries hundreds of open pull requests, which is the real review queue and is visible before you submit.
They generate the file's title, thumbnail and snippet from your page rather than from what you typed, so the frontmatter is worth reading before committing.
The premise is things that are free for developers, so a product whose free tier is a trial is the wrong shape for it whatever the tags say.
