To me it's really not a question of which VCS is the better (I know next to nothing about Bazaar and although git is more popular the two seem largely similar to me - one can read a ton about the issue at https://www.google.com/search?q=bazaar+vs+git )
What rather matters is the huge added value of GitHub. Nothing makes collaboration so seamless as this platform. Only the people who forked a repo and sent a pull request can understand how natural this porcess is. For example a while ago I uploaded https://github.com/mondalaci/supervisord-php-client for my own amusement thinking that noone will ever bother, then I started receiving pull requests from 5 other contributors who dramatically improved the project. Merging their changes took a click of a button. Upon receiving a pull request a related comment thread opens to discuss possible issues. I'm confident that this level of seamless collaboration couldn't have happened anywhere else. The other big thing that I just love is the super-polished web interface that is very easily explorable and the Unix-like file-centric philosophy of the user interface.
