This should do:
git log --all --pretty="%an" | sort | uniq | wc -l

I am wondering why this doesn't correspond to the number of contributors I find on GitHub.

Probably because you are considering all branches and not just one branch? Also, maybe they use a different method for calculation? By email? A given developer might change email any time so might get a single name and multiple mails.

Git has this build in withe the shortlog command
git shortlog -s -n --all
git shortlog
git-shortlog - Summarize git log output
-s, --summary
Suppress commit description and provide a commit count summary only.
-n, --numbered
Sort output according to the number of commits per author instead of author alphabetic order.
-all
Collect records form all branches
Note:
If you want to exclude merges add the --no-merges flag as well
To get a single count add the | sort | uniq | wc -l as @eftshift0 suggested
git shortlog -s -n --all --no-merges | sort | uniq | wc -l
