I think that Github is a big factor in git's success. If you use git and stick a project on Github, you just send people the Github URL, and BAM! they see your code and README file, neatly presented on one page. And since Github is so popular, this lowers the barrier to entry for other people to contribute patches, which is always nice. If Github is bringing people to git, then it stands to reason that a seemingly disproportionate number of git users would use Github.
