Looks cool, but the p2p protocol seems over engineered. The problem is not so much how to share the code, you can still use email or some other centralized federated service to communicate with peers. Hell, you can even use S3 to store your backups and EC2 to run CI. The main issue is owning the platform that hosts your code, issues, and other artifacts. A hybrid system that allows you to host code with peers while integrating with existing infrastructure services would be more robust and an easier sell.

I specifically want to work on git projects, including the project management aspects, without having to deal with running my own server. The p2p protocol is not over engineered, it's exactly what's needed. Git is p2p. Why shouldn't it have p2p pm tools?
