Upon a cursory inspection of the first 10,000 or so early GitHub users, it takes about 64 followers to be in the top 20% of followed GitHub accounts.[1] Users with 100 or more followers can often be business owners, well known employees from FAANG companies and the like. Users with 1000 or more followers tend to be specialists in lesser used technologies who have created open source technologies used widely in that specific domain. Users with 10000 or more followers tend to be luminaries who have created technologies most people in the industry are familiar with, like say coffeescript.
