Have you got any evidence for that?

Certainly - look at packages such as network, containers, and unordered-containers on github.

AFAIK, unordered-containers has always been on github, so I don't see how that can give any evidence that using git or being on github means a project will "get many more contributions". Unless you're comparing it to a different project (in which case the different project goals, different set of users, different maintainer, different level of activity by maintainer, etc, are all likely to be more significant factors IMO).
