1. Github is very well known and cater specifically for the tech crowd. So, an attack on Github is more likely to be talked in the tech crowd, which I would assume the people who would try out DDoS attacks be more likely to be part of. Validation is a weird thing.
2. In a convoluted sense, taking down Github doesn't harm as many bystanders. If that makes any sense...
3. As you've mentioned, very clear useful metrics for the attacks.
4. Crowding effect? Maybe attacking Github has become some 'cool' things to try in that community. I'm just imagining at this point.
