We here at FLOSSmole have been gathering data about how free, libre, and open source software is made for about 10 years now, actually a little more.
In that time, a lot has changed in the forge landscape, both with the players and with the tools.
Just for fun, I decided to run a few quick queries to show the ascendance of Github and the concurrent decline of some smaller forges. These two graphs show the rate of new project creation (called 'registration' on Rubyforge and 'creation' at Github - and yes, the Github numbers do include forks).
