You are right, so I just updated the CONTRIBUTING file.
Your best option to get the code is gerrit nowadays:

https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/admin/projects/e4/org.eclipse.e4.scripting

EASE is currently developed under the hood of the e4 incubator. As we 
want to evolve and start working on releases we have to move out and 
become a full eclipse project. We are currently in the preparation phase 
for this step, so we have to move our code locations soon anyway.

Eclipse Gerrit would be my preferred option, but if you fork on github 
that will be fine anyway.
So far I am not familiar with the process of implementing changes you do 
on github though. Would you provide patches for the eclipse repo then?

If you depend on external libraries like org.groovy you need to start 
outside eclipse anyway. There I would opt to either fork from 
EScriptMonkey on github or directly work on that project on github. If 
you provide your github ID I could ask Arthur for the access rights
