A lot of comments here are suggesting that the staff should allow the violations of the academic honesty rules and deal with matters by some other means.
It's my understanding that, in this case, this is not possible. There are real students at EPFL who are using the Coursera system to take this very same course for credit. If some random resume-padder creates a public repository on github for doing the homework, then a simple google search by an actual student at EPFL could easily find it.
I don't see how they have any choice but to bring the hammer down.
