This is essentially just about storing issues and wiki in a DVCS, right? There have been several attempts at this[0], most of which seem dead. I doubt that it's hard to do from a technical standpoint, but there are reasons issue tracking etc is often centralised: - it's a place for discussion, which is hard to follow if not everyone gets the same thing at the same time => this is solved by some kind of always-on updater over a P2P network => I'd consider this more akin to blockchain than bittorrent, but either way - issues sometimes need to have a limited audience => this isn't actually that hard to do, probably - you don't necessarily want to pull down a => this can be solved by something on the project home page A very interesting thought, in any case.
