There's some alternatives to github here. https://itsfoss.com/github-alternatives/ I don't know how you square the circle of allowing multiple people to upload files, but avoiding rootkits and the like. If some open-source alternative could be found, it would probably be possible to run the code on a free AWS instance. if a script was run to a) Make files read only b) Strip off the execute bit it should prevent someone over-writing files, or trying to execute their code. Given the size of the files, it should be possible for multiple people to make backups on a regular basis. So if the maintainer drops dead, no data is lost.
