I would start by using a distributed bug/issue tracker to ensure the contributors can communicate and manage the project in events like this one. Git is already distributed and the availability of a lot of clones of the repository out there shows it is working as intended. A good start would be using Fossil ( https://fossil-scm.org/ https://fossil-scm.org/ ) for its distributed issue tracker, wiki, and forums -- but not for the source code control! Let the code stay on Git as it belongs. ____________________________________ Unrelated soapbox moment: Fossil is a great idea built upon the bad idea of recreating Git in the wrong way... it would be perfect if it just all other things except source control, leaving this part to git.
