Git itself is decentralized, and we can use email to send patches, but GitHub's role is more like a social network to discover and "star" projects.

I really hope Forgejo/Gitea can get federation to work to the point where we can ditch GitHub, they already have the federated star feature [1] - I'm doing my part by hosting my own Forgejo instances and using Woodpecker CI + my own CI/CD system, and it's faster than GitHub Actions.
