GitHub is more than just Git hosting as you noticed. Pull Request, online code editing and notes, and more nice web-based tools are great improvements to make contributing easier. Hosting Git at codehaus would "just" make merges easier compared to svn patches but not change the contribution workflow. I'd be pleased to see this happen at Mojo level, maybe the way Jenkins plugins are grouped under jenkinsci organisation. It's anyway easy to migrate a git repo from one github account to another.
