There shouldn't be a problem using the two portgroups together. As you know, the python portgroup does not set ${name} for you; you must set it yourself in the portfile.

The github portgroup does set ${name} for you, for the convenience of that majority of ports using the github portgroup that are not python modules. For those that are python modules, or for whatever other reason want to use a different ${name}, you just overwrite name later, as you've done.
