We already had federation for decentralized forges: Email

But that wasn't hip enough so everyone moved to GitHub.

Oh we have a neat solution for that. Just give us your government issued id! I'm joking of course.

Thank you for maintaining Xfce! It's the best de around.

I really like the idea of distributed forges, but am not familiar with viable solutions for federation. Are there good options available right now? Or at least a not-terrible option?

(Edit: Turns out there’s a very obvious and widely used option. git format-patch + git send-email is used to develop major open source software such as Linux, GCC, and Git itself.)
