The italic "your" labels add a nice typographic flourish, but the repetitiveness stands out to me, especially since all the help text includes the word "your" as well:
e.g., in the focused field one label says "Your Github" and the other label says "Your Github username." What is the benefit of having two labels? Not to mention the icon, which is like a third label.
The helptext gives some specific clues about what the field must contain. I expect people to type in their github username, not paste their github profile page URL, and vice-versa for Stack Overflow.
Maybe the simplest solution in the future is to do a sign-in-with flow for each of the services, that way there's no chance for getting the wrong data.
As for the icons, the form just felt a little cold without 'em. :)

Hey Joe,
I agree about the repetitive "your."
The helptext gives some specific clues about what the field must contain. I expect people to type in their github username, not paste their github profile page URL, and vice-versa for Stack Overflow.
