Rather than inventing a completely new peer-to-peer protocol, I would have liked it more if they had worked on smaller improvements of git itself, that would reduce the need for platforms like github.

For example, integrating the bug tracker into the git repo. That would be very useful, since it’s one of the most important reasons people use github at all.

Fossil does what you are asking already as well as projects like git-bug.

What Radicle adds to the mix is a gossip / social layer around git, which is an interesting idea.

Well, there is Fossil[0], which has an integrated bug tracker and wiki (among others), but it obviously isn’t supported by GitHub.
