   A possible way is something like:

   import requests
   
   def validate_github_profile(value):
       """validate github profile"""
   
       pattern = r"^github.com\/[a-zA-Z0-9]+(?:-[a-zA-Z0-9]+)*\/?$"
       if re.search(pattern, value) is None:
           raise ValidationError(
               _("%(value)s is not a valid GitHub profile."),
               params={"value": value},
           )
       status_code = requests.get(value).status_code
       if status_code == 404:
           raise ValidationError(
               _("%(value)s is not a valid GitHub profile."),
               params={"value": value},
           )      

   Or something along the lines
