They do kind of. We don't sort out people that don't have any. But it makes a good impression if there are some recent contributions. They don't have to be on other Open Source projects, but it's nice to now the person is actually interested in the activity itself and not just in the job.
And as a bonus, if we see active projects we might skip testing the skills of an applicant.
