Because tech-heads rule!

Seriously, I think this is a normal trend within other e-learning communities as well. For instance, the .LRN community is very active within its technical communities. It is not so common to get educational people asking questions or sharing experiences there.

Although, not long ago I saw a presentation by Mr. Moodle at the US MoodleMoot 2006 and he also mentioned that at the back in 2003 -when Moodle.org started, most of the queries and postings in the forum where technical people trying to get Moodle to work. It took a little while for teachers and educators to start sharing their thoughts in the community. Today, the composition of the Moodle.org mob is 50+% teachers.

So it might be a matter of maturity?
