I want it embedded in git simply to break the hold Github has. We have this fantastic distributed fault-tollerant dvcs that gets funneled though at worse 1 service, at best maybe 3 or 4.

I'd love to clone a repo and be able to view all the reasoning behind commits with the context of issues too. I know the commit message should cover this but sometimes it doesn't, or its too much context, or the context is limited to the opinion of the committer. I think all that information is relevant to projects and should have some chance to live alongside it. Stuff like git-bug exists, but then you still need participation from other people.

I really love the idea of radicle.xyz which is git + p2p + issues & patches (called `COB` - collaborative objects) all in your repo but getting the buy-in of the wider population seems extremely difficult, if not impossible. I think part of the attraction here specifically is nostalgia for me, it feels like its invoking the 90s/00s where it was all a big mesh network, information wanted to be free and you couldn't stop the signal.

Fossil also seems cool but the rest of the world is tied to git and I'm tied to jj now. I guess I really wish git themselves [sic] would push something forward, I think that's the only way it would really get broad acceptance. Forges could adopt it and try and special-sauce parts but still let you push/pull "COB"s.
