Good idea. At the time Freedoom was moved to Savannah, git wasn't supported at SourceForge and the long gap of nobody checking anything into subversion seemed to be an excellent reason it should have been on a DVCS (and I picked Git mainly because i was somewhat familiar with it).
I don't remember if GitHub was around at the time (I think it was?), but I've used since and it'll work well for the project... I think Savannah might get picky over having the repository hosted elsewhere, but GitHub has all the functionality to replace it entirely anyhow (plus like you said, they're not doing their jobs; volunteer or not, this kind of response time is unacceptable).
I'm pushing the new master out to https://github.com/chungy/freedoom at the moment; when it's done you should be able to fetch from github, do a "git reset --hard d2745ac54", and merge in the github master branch to get up to speed... either that or just reclone. I can also set up collaborators later so a few people (like fraggle and rjy) can push to that repository directly.
