It may well be that those numbers are inflated by the fact that Github
emphasises fork for things one would just do a branch (or just a local
clone which then languishes unproductively).

This emphasis on fork is probably fueled by Github's marketing strategy 
"We haz 329 gazillions repozitoriez!1!!. Which at some point handsomely
paid off.

IOW, I'd say many "forks" in Github have probably never seen a compile,
let alone an install. Those can't produce bug reports.

Watch the denominator in your statistics ;-)
