Although I understand what you mean, I don't think just because new users want the contributing process to be similar to what they already know, that projects would have to change their workflow to suit such users. This is not a great way to learn for the user and pretty pointless for the project, since if for example using Sourcehut or Gitlab, users could still use the same argument of comfort with Github to try and move the project to Github. Projects shouldn't be forced to change their workflow to suit a small minority of the contributors or possible future contributors. If you were maintaining a project on Github, you wouldn't want users submitting pull requests over email, so why would it be any better the other way around.
