Thanks for getting back to us. I just tried Gitter again and it again asks for write permissions to my repositories. So I denied it. I need GitHub for my daily work, so the I don't want to risk something happening to my code/repositories. I have no doubts that you wouldn't do some intentional harm, but the risk of bad things happening is quite high, I fully share the worries that Joachim described in the email above (after your post). So my personal policy is that I have no problems giving people write access to my repositories, but I don't give it to websites which can have bugs in the code or can be hacked.
