This has not been "iteratively created on Github". It has one commit and 1 commit only. Just sayin...
https://github.com/CMSgov/healthcare.gov/commits/master
Still cool its open sourced though.

It's a big step to have government releasing ANYTHING on Github. And yes, it's the next logical step for them to start projects on GitHub. But they're not there yet -- its worth noting that neither Sunlight nor Code for America start their projects out in the open 100% of the time either. It's new ground, and government will, I think, move more towards developing out in the open as we progress. But for now, I'm pretty excited that they embraced technology from this decade.
I should note I'm the former Director of Sunlight Labs, and am an advisor to Code for America.
