 * Couldn’t you do:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'extra_theme_headers', 'frosty_extra_theme_headers' );
       function frosty_extra_theme_headers( $headers ) {
       	$headers['Github Theme URI'] = 'Github Theme URI';
       	return $headers;
       }
       ```
   
 * Then you can call:
 *     ```
       $theme_data = get_theme_data( '/style.css' );
       $theme_data['Github Theme URI']
       ```

 * Sorry, I just saw post. Yes this absolutely works, I just didn’t know about the`
   extra_theme_headers` filter. For anyone else’s curiosity, [here in the wp source](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/functions.php?rev=19881#L3430)
   is where the filter is applied.
