    doc/contributing.rdoc: allow/encourage other git hosts
    
    git is a distributed system, so make it clear to potential contributors
    that it does not and should not matter where their repositories are
    hosted.
    
    Furthermore, it should be possible to contribute to Open Source projects
    by relying only on Open Source tools, protocols and APIs.
