+1  Q: 

Is what GitHub is doing here a good practice?

If you view this URL, you'll see that GitHub is posting all sorts of technical information. Is this a good practice so that users can email info to you about bugs, etc?

It's at least a good design for an error page.

+5  A: 

No. Leaving detailed error pages is certainly making malicious attackers' job much-much easier. I would think that security is more important than possible bug reports.

btw. I would suggest to notify first the admins of github and publish later
