The author appears to highly appreciate being able to contribute without an account, just an email.
I didn't quite get why that is. Isn't an account effectively just an email, with an additional password?

Having to create an account adds friction and requires you to agree to shady “terms and conditions”.
An account would be tied to a users table record as well as a profile, activity log, etc. Git is decentralized but source forges on average are not. I can make a commit to your code if you share the repo, but committing that code under my git user/email doesnt create an account on the source forge.
