Isn’t Git kind of naturally federated in a broad sense, just by the way it works? As long as someone has the source code they can always create another Git repo and share it.
It’s easy to host a private git instance but if you’re on a federated git and I am on a federated git, we can still collaborate on projects vs. a private instance that might have all the features of github or gitlab but there’s no central authentication mechanism so there’s no way for each other to collaborate.

Linus Torvalds rather famously managed Linux patches for decades without a centralized server.
