After a user clicks on the streamgraph, the bottom-left displays information about commits by the corresponding contributor in the corresponding quarter; the contributor name is already a link to their GitHub profiles, but the "changes" count could also be made a link to the actual commits.
These links would have the format:
https://github.com/git/git/commits?author=gitster&since=2005...
or
https://github.com/git/git/commits?author=gitster@pobox.com&...
