How do you contribute to project on Github from a different git host?
Oh, that's what you meant. How do you contribute to a project on any git host if that git host won't let you? In what way is GitHub any different from that?
Its different in that other platforms aren't run by evil corporations that could decide to deplatform a user.
You think Microsoft is the only "evil corporation" among these? That's very naive. Any hosting service will deplatform users when they can see a profit to be made from doing so.
My point is don't go with a corporation. Use open source software. Use codeberg.
