Doing free software via e-mail is also fairly decentralized. In fact Linux was done via e-mail until (at least) 1998 - patches were mailed to Linus and it was patch and diff (in 1999 VA Linux and Red Hat IPO'd).
Debian was very e-mail oriented last time I checked, unless things changed in the past year or two.
There may be drawbacks to software via e-mail but there are benefits as well. It depends on various factors.
