I just checked the 5,000 most recently uploaded distributions via Meta::CPAN for the VCS they list in the META files. This is the result: 2458 have not listed any repository. Those that listed were identified 'google' => 3, 'git_gnome' => 7, 'bitbucket' => 97, 'other_svn' => 40, 'other_git' => 116, 'other' => 73, 'svn_perl_org' => 2, 'github_http' => 447, 'github_https' => 659, 'github_git' => 1098 So a large majority of those that list their VCS in META CPAN use Github. (I used the metacpan_meta.pl from the MetaCPAN::Clients.) regards Gabor ps. For all the authors, if you'd like to list your VCS in the META files here is my explanation: http://perl5maven.com/how-to-add-link-to-version-control-system-of-a-cpan-distributions
