I've seen this mentioned a few times lately. Not that I disagree, but why would that be? Is it just Github's poplarity? Is it the ease with which you can sign on and start yelling at FOSS maintainers? Something else?

Popularity is part of it. It's the "default" for software. It's what is taught in every school, bootcamp, youtube channel and corner of the internet. Anyone that had an idea on a random weekend to "learn to code" signed up for GitHub. GitHub is less of a software forge and more like a Facebook for software.

Everyone already has a Github account. Just having to make an account on Codeberg/Sourcehut is enough of a barrier.
