Something like this?

Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough with the Android APIs to take on something like this.

looks nice. Items from ActionBar spinner are the best candidates for Navigation Drawer panel

[BudgieInWA]

Yep. The notification item would link to #327. "People" would link to a view displaying a list of followers and followed people.

I guess there is no need to remove tabs and swyping, so that followers/following/repos screens could left as they are

[BudgieInWA]

I agree that tabs go fine with a Drawer. I personally think the "repositories" list should have it's own screen.

Here's the mockup source as bmml for anyone who wants to play around or iterate.

I like this idea. I have worked with the drawer before so I can start playing with this.

There is one problem with intergrating NavigationDrawer currently.
GitHubAndroid is using ActionBarSherlock and right now the support library has not been added to maven central.
See this issue for more info: JakeWharton/ActionBarSherlock#946

Perhaps in the interim, the existing "Gists", "Issues Dashboard" and "Bookmarks" views could have their Up buttons replaced with the same spinner that is on the "Home" view (that is named after the user). This suggests the same hierarchy as the drawer.

The old issue of not having the support lib has been fixed with the gradle implementation in #553. If that is merged we cab start to make the app a bit better.
