i am wondering this probably because of two factors:

1. accountability: where do I go looking if something is broken? 2. and discoverability: where to search, and whom to believe as being the correct owner of the copy of the codebase.

this is similar to block-chain currency (based on my limited understanding.. correct me if i am wrong). While it is meant to be decentralised, entities like coinbase effectively create a central entry/exit point somewhere in the ecosystem.

I immediately thought of Bitcoin when reading the OP. It can, and has been "hard" forked via miner consensus. That is, of course, one level removed from git, but I guess git"hub" could be more like gittorrent or something where instead of hosting a repo on one central server, the repo is hosted by a swarm and the version with the most seeds is the winner.
