I don't have a Github account after deleting it some time after it was ought by Microsoft. Given the rise of anti-US sentiment and calls to stop using their products, more people leaving Github might be a real occurrence. How can I and others who have left, are leaving, and will leave Github, be able to contribute?

You should be able to mirror or fork, make contributions there, and you can probably try to do a PR back into the original. You will still have to use github somewhat since that's where the original repo is.

The answer to "how do I contribute without github" being "use github", isn't really that helpful, if you know what I mean 😉
