> figuring out where and how to contribute has regressed 20 years

What?

Step 1: go to project's manpage/readme or website.

Step 2: find the URL of their software forge (git/svn/hg site).

Step 3: clone and contribute using that website.

That process has been largely the same for a lot more than 20 years. Most people were not using GitHub as a discovery/random-repo-browsing system.
