I had a different experience: a large project I contribute to occasionally (Coq) moved to Github a few years ago, and that was followed with a significant increase in first-time contributions. On a smaller scale, we have had many more (good) bug reports and pull requests for Proof General since we moved it to Github. What this doesn't say is whether any "modern" workflow would have helped, or whether it was specifically Github, because of network effects (the barrier for contribution is lower if you already have an account and you are already familiar with the UI). In fact, it doesn't even say whether it was the move itself that helped, or whether the move was an irrelevant manifestation of a more welcoming approach and a general effort to attract contributions.
