You just lose the "hub" of connecting others and providing a way to collaborate with others with rich discussions.

All of those sound achievable by email, which, coincidently, is also decentralized.

Some of my open source work is done on mailing lists through e-mail

It's more work and slower. I'm convinced half of the reason they keep it that way is because the barrier to entry is higher and it scares contributors away.

Well it does prevent brigading.

Email at a company is very not decentralized. Most use Microsoft 365, also hosted in azure, i.e. the same cloud as github is trying to host its stuff in.

Wait, email is decentralised?

You mean, assuming everyone in the conversation is using different email providers. (ie. Not the company wide one, and not gmail... I think that covers 90% of all email accounts in the company...)
