I noticed the reactions link on that page. One of the reactions listed
describes Martin Fowler's decision with a little sarcasm: "Martin
kindly left out the DVCS which is used by the most prominent Linux
distribution, ubuntu, and the most prominent open source database
software, MySQL." It also contends that github is "awesome", but that
Launchpad is "the most mature solution":

Of course, this does not show that there is a very significant body of
Bazaar use by itself, but it is anecdotal evidence of a comment
favourable to Bazaar that is perhaps ironic seeing that it is the only
one among the reactions listed that specifically comments about the
tools in question.
