p2p solution for opensource projects

That's called Git and it's been around longer than GitHub. There is also Usenet which by now is mostly dead. People fell for centralized alternatives. Oops :)

Git is, but it has no process of discovery or hosting by itself. Those are needed to efficiently share open source software to large numbers of people.

You'd think Usenet is dead.
It's not.

Oh boy it's not! But mainly for binaries

git is clearly not p2p in the needed level or else we wouldn't have faced this problem
