So, I'm both a developer and a WoW player, but I've never done WoW mod development.

That said, I do know that WoW UI mods are written in Lua, and I also know that there's an interface-related folder in the WoW directory structure called WTF. If there are a lot of WoW mods on github, this could be related to Lua's outlier WTF status.

Looking at the search results[1] it mostly seems to be the same code being found in different repositories/forks. One of the most forked Lua repositories contains an add-on with a 8 localization keys named SoundWTF for example.
