Feedback on a federated decentralized git hosting solution

I have an idea, it's not particularly new. I think git code sharing could integrate very nicely with blockchains.

I think it could be done elegantly without modifying the git protocol at all, just as an optional superset (like Github) to provide forks, PR and discussion.

Something like:

smart contract based system

something like lightening network for off master chain pushes

local node hosting all obtained versions of code, something like PNPM meets zeronet

cloning/pushing over DHT with web torrent.

client key pairs for collaboration and authentication

Do you guys think it could be done? Thoughts? Ideas? Criticisms?

Would anyone be interested in working on something like this? I'd like all the help I can get and any input people have.
