At my office I run a gitlab server that we use for our projects. Both the hosted gitlab at http://gitlab.com as a self hosted instance of the gitlab community edition support multiple ways of signing up (using an openid account, a company ldap server or let users signup using a mail address.
Every registered user can fork a public repository and create pull request just like at github. So it is very well possible to host a service with the same features people love at github.
