Multiple git servers mirroring doesn't work for you? Maintainers would need to set them up but its a low lift for contributors?

The intention is to enable multiple git servers which all act as mirrors behind an authorative state issued through nostr events. IPFS could act as a got server in this scenario if the git-remote-helper works. That project looks a little stale.

If there's an authoritative state it has to be centralized somehow. If there isn't an authoritative state then there has to be a consensus mechanism and I don't see one.

There could be multiple authoratitive states. Like with the Linux kernel many entities maintain their own state and cherry pick commits from linus's branch.

Sorry, "multiple" and "authoritative" are contradictions in terms. I know Linux has multiple branches but each branch only has one state. If both you and I push commits to branch "foo" which one is the correct "foo". I don't think you've thought this through.
