don't forget the good old sourceforge and freshmeat.

besides, only about 10%, if not less, of registered github users do actual coding. Most of the users just follow the updates or fork and add patches.

only about 10%, if not less

Is there a number published somewhere?

no, it's just my own feeling based on browsing and looking at who's following my projects :)

So it's not only a guess, but you imply patchers are not coders. That's just cheap.

I can see when you last checked out freshmeat :)
