Not really.  GitHub-related knobs are often grouped together and put
closer to the top because they are more related to obtaining the distfile
(think MASTER_SITES) rather than the configuring/building/etc. steps of
the software in question itself.

Technically there's nothing wrong with any order prior to .include's of
other Mk/* files, so this kind of grouping helps readability while not
affecting anything else.
