We give "priority" to the stuff people submit patches for. There isn't
a git-over-p2p because nobody is working on it, would you like to work
on it?

I'm also not convinced that this is actually needed. It's trivial to
set up a p2p-like network by just emulating a darknet by manually
adding remotes & fetching/pushing.

That's not viable for the stuff that usually gets distributed on p2p
networks, but it sure is viable when you have people working on the
same codebase. Which would be the use case for a git-over-p2p client,
right?
