This is pretty much it. If you don't want to use GitHub you need to provide an alternative way of time-efficient code review. I remember checking few ketmar patches attached in bugzilla before with an intent to resubmit those to GitHub but after seeing no tests included and several style / implementation issues I have decided to simply not bother with it.

Yah,  I would recommend you get a VPS (which can be anything from $2 a year to $5 a month depending on how "low-end" you want to go).  And install gitlab or gitorious on it, if you want local control - then those tools provide it.

In case you want free Git hosting other than github, check:
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitHosting

Some sites have an open framework.

thank you. i'm using repo.or.cz now and i'm very happy with it: it doesn't do anything except hosting repos! oh, well, and it has minimalistic web viewer. almost ideal thing. ;-)
