If you look on the github referenced page, its repositories, not projects.
The translation to projects is wikipedias own.

The fact that github+gitlab  projects >people and by others the other way
around should ring a bell.

I get the feeling these stats are meaningless because github has a large 
excess of personal repositories that skews stats, while sf was more
collaboration oriented.
