We've got a private github at our company. Is it reasonable to index
that with our GSA? (I gave it a shot, but there's a robot.txt file
blocking me -- before I get that removed I'd like to know if just
trying to crawl the thing makes any sense.)

I don't know, but here's how I'd find out. Within your browser,
disable JavaScript and set your user-agent to match the GSA's
(gsa-crawler). Then, try browsing it, and see if you're able to get to
everything you'd expect to.

Hi Jonathan,

Do you want to index the wiki or the code?

Ideally just the wiki, I think. I'm not sure if I can separate that
very easily, though. At the moment, I'd settle for anything.
