I think one big step would be to give non-members (such as e.g. me) the 
possibility to actually push commits in a form comparable to Github's pull 
requests. That is I would like to be able to make modifications and push them 
to a fork and ask for them to be reviewed and included directly from within the 
repostory's web interface.
An alternative way to encourage contribution would be some more straightforward 
way to get commits from my local LilyPond clone into the official review 
process.
