I should rephrase it: the question wasn't
exclusively about open source projects.
We can certainly talk about this issue in this thread since there probably isn't too much to talk about otherwise.
(I have changed the title of the topic)
Having more PB presence on Github would certainly nice. I'm trying to get a little insight with this poll
on how many active members use Git or another kind of VCS. Even though the numbers won't have much meaning,
it should still be informative to a certain degree:
Is it not useful for PB? Is it too difficult to use or get into? Do PB devs simply think that it's not convenient enough?
Why is that? What can be done about it? Some questions that I think would be interesting to be answered.

I'm also lurking around the forums for over a decade by now. I'm not nearly as involved as you were
and I've also moved on to other languages a long long time ago, yet I can't leave this community behind.
I think there is much room for improvement in this community regarding collaboration.
The PB community is generally very eager to help and participate, but the Tricks 'n' Tips section just
isn't the right place for the development of something larger than a function or a single file.
PBOSL was a good start but eventually failed due to the lack of participation and maintenance.
What's needed for open source projects is a small team of maintainers and a bunch'o'guys doing
pull requests on existing code for review.
Then again, this is a rather small community so maybe the old ways are the path to follow.
