You can add as many people to the repository as you like, just pull requests are the way you're _supposed_ to do it.
There are 2 main workflows: everybody works on their own branch on one master repo, then submits a PR back to master, which is OK, but requires everybody to be a contributor to the repo. The other one is everyone has a fork, does their changes there then submits a PR back to the canonical upstream. You can either just immediately approve the PR, or wait for other people to comment on it.
The problem with revision identifiers in git is solved with the use of tags. With it's distributed nature, it's impossible for every commit to be in an order, but you can put a tag on the master and then refer back to that. So you could say tag 0.167 instead of r167. You don't really need to refer to revision numbers very often either but you can use tags if you want.
It's also easy to differentiate between the canonical "master" and any forks. The master would have the most forks, stars and also would be named MCServer/MCServer instead of blargh/MCServer making it easier to see.
Also, please do remember that you can continue to use SVN exactly as you have been (moving to the git way is better, but not required) for as long as you like. All you have to do is change the URL of your origin to the github project. If you don't like git, just use SVN.
