AFAIK this has got nothing to do with not having a github account, 
although I guess that if there is a match between an original svn 
account and a github username, github might use it.

But the procedure should be able to accept an authors.txt file or 
similar that contains a mapping from zope svn committer name to email 
address and maybe full name.  I have done several moves from 
svn.plone.org to github and from an internal company svn to bitbucket 
git and have used such a file there, with names of colleagues and Plone 
committers.
