Even if you want to make a really simple change (such as fixing a typo in the --help message), src.fedoraproject.org will not show you the file you need to edit, or provide you with tools to produce a patch/commit to submit. The Github model is different: you would just click on the 🖉 button, make your change, add a description, and click “Propose file change”. But even if we switched src.fedoraproject.org to Github, this would only work for RPM spec file changes. You would still not be able to edit the --help message directly. That's why I think that there is little risk of random drive-by contributions: people just won't find a place to make the changes they want. (The potential FPCA issue I raised separately still exists, though.)
