If I want to contribute to a project, it’s super helpful to know what the canonical location for this is (“canonical repository” vs “pull from some random persons repo”)
If I want to run a FOSS project, I might not be interested in the details of managing distribution and security of some server (one-click software rather than setting up some server myself)
I also .... kinda don’t care about account management (=> using something that people already use is nice)
Peer to peer isn’t actually interesting for almost any aspect of a project. The main advantage is availability, but it doesn’t help (and can hinder) other objectives of running a FOSS project.
I think that there’s a way to get most of the goodies (see GitLab... kinda), though it’s a hell of a lot more work than “just send email patches around!” I think sourcehut is getting there though
