there were already forges before github but you had to set them up. stuff like trac was used a lot. github just made it fit the "i can't be bothered to spend effort learning anything" mould.

its sort of nice to have issue tracking and stuff to hand but also kind of feels stagnating like now people expect to be able to shit directly in to the ticket queue (and also the ticket queues are significantly more anemic than when we used Phabricator or Roundup.)
