Many Github projects have a link to a project page from the home Github 
page (usually somewhere on the top right).  That's where I saw a link to 
http://www.tug.org/texworks/ and found the entry I posted.

If I knew about Texworks but didn't know where its source code was 
hosted, I'd probably just ask Google.
