Every git repository is a full code history of its project. That could be wonderful for robustness against single-point failures, but we've largely thrown that possibility away by hosting our projects on forge sites that have only one copy of issues and merge-requests and other project assets that don't happen to be code.  There's a better way; by replacing the forges with a decentralized networks of Git repositories that embed all these assets we can eliminate dangerous technical, economic, and political chokepoints. This talk is about software that does that, and what needs to happen next.
