What we need is some sort of distributed version control system.

I’m not quite sure how it will work yet, but it would have the entire codebase and its history mirrored onto every developer's computer. Instead of requiring a central repository, developers could share their changes directly with each other.

but seriously, we need project management features that are decentralized: issue tracking, kanban, code reviews w/ comments, and ways to extend functionality without relying on a git forge.

Would be cool to see those as extensions to Git. Surely they could just be more Git objects?

I wonder how exactly Forgejo's planned federation will work...

Based in activitypub. You should be able to follow a repo with mastodon or Lemmy and then see ticket updates for example.

But it's far in the fuyure

Nice, unfortunate that it seems so distant though
