Interesting list. At a glance I recognize a lot of ruby people near the top which is a pretty good indicator of how popular git / github have been in that circle. Github has really become the code hosting source for ruby developers. I wonder how popular it is for other languages? Also, looking at this list is looks like the quickest path to the top is to develop open source software for other programmers. Perhaps a javascript library or a web framework or software used by github itself.
