Agreed, I think GitHub was pretty much the critical feature... and happened to come along at a time when SourceForge was widely disliked and people didn't trust some of the other offerings from Google, MS, etc in the open source world nearly as much. GitHub added a social aspect to open-source development that other sites simply didn't have at the time.
