It would require full compatibility to be useful. I suppose most users of GitHub Pages don't actually use customization. Gojekyll could be used for building these, otherwise fall back to standard Jekyll.

I believe GitHub Wikis are also rendered with Jekyll? Without customization capabilities on the user side, Gojekyll could be used here, too.

I don't see a reason to, they're just flat markdown documents, not a blog.
