To be honest I don't get why someone would require a github account. Just clone our ASF git repo. Technically it makes no difference where from. Might be from ASF, github or even your neighbour,.. The sha1 are everywhere the same anyway (if the clone is up2date).
Then you do your changes, create a patch etc. And send a pull request. I personally even prefer creating the patch via git-format-patch and then attaching it to either JIRA or send it directly to the mailing list for review. That's how we always did work in the past and it still works like a charm! In many cases it's even way cleaner than via github (no spread channels etc). You could also just point to your repo (hosted on bitbucket, sourceforge, your private server, whatever) and the maintainer could git-fetch+merge from there. That's how GIT was intended to be used even.
