I don’t think GitHub adds that much over using and contributing to software. I generally prefer when the project have its own website and a proper about and documentation section. As far as contributing go, coding a bug fix or a new features takes way longer than figuring how sending patch over mail works (for the extreme case) and you only need to do it once. And opensource is not a popularity contest.
