Mirroring to make it available in mainstream channels is a Good Thing IMO. Pull requests are also nice.
Git goes a long way to eradicate the "committer bit" barrier to contribution; anyone can fork and modify code at next to zero cost. Some will also contribute back. Pushing to github makes creating your own writeable fork as easy as pressing the "fork" button. Another interesting feature available by virtue of github is the network graph; look at https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/network for an example. It actually keeps track of what the "community" is doing and if you're feeling social you can drop by someone else's fork, leave a comment - maybe even encourage them to complete their work and submit a patch!
