Perl has CPAN, don't know about PHP. Before there was github there was
sourceforge as a general open source repository. Python seems to have
the Python Package index http://pypi.python.org/pypi/

Github first became popular with the Ruby crowd, and really exploded
when Rails started using it for source code maintenance. That's also
probably why JavaScript is the second most popular language,

The killer feature of course is the addition of 'social' open source features.
