So because of your limited imagination or usage (or ignorance) of Git, this is "stupid" and "useless". Mmmmk.

Yes, virtually any decentralized technology can be used in a way that looks like centralization. But as a doctor might suggest, stop doing, to yourself, the thing that hurts.

The fact is, it's entirely possible to use git-appraise without a "centralized git server" just like it is possible to use... decentralized git precisely in such a manner.

Moreover, I can pretty much guarantee that whatever you think "really decentralized" would look like, could be used in basically the exact same ways as git-appraise.

What does it even mean for something to be decentralized if you're talking about using it on a single machine, with a single user? I just can't man, I can't.
