Is it _really_ open source if even just viewing anything requires an account?
Yes. Open source is about being able to modify and redistribute code for the products you already have access to. It's not about just giving everything to everyone.
You can explore the public projects here: https://opensource.ieee.org/explore
I wish there was a less email-centric workflow to contact the HN mods, because I think your link is much better than a sign in page for showing off the intended content
That page is available by clicking the link that says "Explore groups and projects" on the page that is linked in this post.

It's a discoverability problem of that particular page; as a sibling comment mentioned, it's possible to view the public project, it's just that this site has no link to /explore - just /search from what I could see.
The GPL allows you to not publish the source, as long as you provide it on request. Several older “open source” projects were distributed exclusively by CD-ROM.
An IEEE service that would be actually useful.
New release book on Git for Electronic Circuit Design:

How exactly is this related?
It's a Git book for electronic CAD and for those with EE (IEEE) background.
