Guys, Git and Github are just tools. Even if Git nerds would like you to think that software can't be developed without github, it worked before. We had sourceforge, berlios, tigris.org etc. for years if you like your project hosted. Then there's Trac, Redmine etc. Otherwise you'd set up a Mailman for mailing lists and subversion as source code repository. If someone attaches good patches to mails and/or gives valuable input to the project, he usually got write access to the svn repository. I'm not even sure that the Github way of developing OSS is that much of an improvement. Too often people rather fork than contribute. You'll find a dozen forks of the same software where different people fixed various things, half of them abandoned a long time ago and none of them usable.
