This invokes the "it's not a bug, it's a feature" mechanism. E.g. Fossil has no problem integrating issues, merge requests, and wiki pages inside its repositories.

Actually, Gitlab and Gitea allows mirror of Github repos with Issues/wiki/PR etc. So, having issues in Github is not at all problem.

I just gave you example of Fossil VCS which has issues,PR,etc. baked into VCS itself.

Actually,what Radicle is doing is to extend git with p2p and not inventing new VCS with issues,etc. baked in.

What i am telling is that p2p doesn't solve this unclear problem and p2p isn't much beneficial to git.

And will there be enough peers to guarantee availability of repo ?

But GitHub does not mirror the issues/PRs from anyone, so it's a very one-sided connection.

That's problem of GitHub.
Yes, but that's a problem for the users which GitHub has every incentive to never solve. It is a problem of github and projects like radicle are a solution.
Not a problem for GitHub -- on the contrary, probably good for them. More vendor lock in.
And, by extension, all of its users.
