This is a cool problem, and while others have worked on it before (e.g. Freenet), Maelstrom could be a significant step forward in usability by using the look and feel of a normal browser. But these systems deal with static content. Distributed hash tables are a well-studied solution. Providing the same advantages of magic, trust-free, peer-to-peer replication to a dynamic (interactive and frequently-modified) site like Github is a much cooler and harder problem, and I'm not aware of anyone trying to solve it. Intuitively it feels impossible to create such a site without a distinct set of trusted nodes doing the work.
