> I think what you might be asking for is if there is a federated code repository that supports git. That’s an interesting question, and I don’t know if such a thing yet exists.
Sourcehut itself is fully federated if you are willing to learn email workflow. You don't need to register an account anywhere to collaborate on sourcehut. That include feature requests, bug reports, discussions, submitting patches and even pull requests from any public repository anywhere [1]. The discussions also exist on mailing list archives and personal mailboxes. They are not lost even if you decide to change host.
But developers are extremely resistant to email workflows. When I suggest it, people react as if I am suggesting black magic. But in my experience, email workflow isn't that unpleasant. Most of the problems with email workflow are due to poor email clients (issues with plain text, composing, rendering and threaded displays). Setting up git and a good but simple email client for git is not a hard task. The rest of the workflow is actually very pleasant.
