I am in no way suggesting to open source JWLua as I understand it has proprietary components that can't be open sourced.  My question was, given a party would be granted access to the PDK by MakeMusic, would they be able to act as a contributor - in case I wasn't clear enough.

You're probably aware that platforms such as Bitbucket or GitLab offer private repositories where you would only give authorized parties access.  Read access would be sufficient because contributions can be made in the form of pull requests that you can accept or reject, so you'd always retain control over your code.  Some platforms offer public bug trackers for restricted repositories as well, which might be a useful feature.
