We really need federated source forges on anonymous networks like I2P.

Unironically thank you for licensing your comments! :)
What? Why?
Then the devs could be anonymous and the their repos couldn't be taken down.

Okay, but why? Can't you do that with selfhosted gitea/gitlab/forgejo? Remember that access to the instance has to be easy enough that normies can use it, so I guess having to figure out i2p is not viable
