Presumably, interacting with Github's hosted issue tracking, editing your project's documentation on the wiki, submitting pull requests, doing a code-review of someone else's pull request before accepting it--any "clerical" project task other than writing and committing code, really.
I was speaking more generally than just Github's case with my original comment, though; for example, it's really obvious that people talk about Reddit being down on HN because when Reddit is down, they're A. bored, and B. want to talk about Reddit being down. They'd do that on Reddit if they could ...but it's down.
