Jack Dorsey has set a 1 billion sats (10 bitcoin) bounty for a permissionless alternative to GitHub based on Nostr
GIT is decentralized by its nature. GitHub is used to centralize the source of truth for all developers which create consensus on production code for example. Source of truth can be defined as the code that is currently running in production on arbitrary machines. So one can define by the protocol that production code is actually an Urbit ship and the SVM updates the ship in place. Merges, pull requests, etc is governed with a DAO.

I Don't See the Appeal of Crypto
Ethereum. The broadly useful, turing-complete version of Bitcoin. It has a community of developers building it and building on it, and as it grows and layer-2 scaling solutions — secondary blockchains that "settle" to Ethereum, making mild concessions on the hardness axis in exchange for a huge speed increase — the appeal and power of decentralized "smart contracts" will become more and more obvious. Just for one example, Urbit uses a set of Ethereum smart contracts to manage their decentralized PKI (public key infrastructure) system.

Have you seen Earthstar?
https://github.com/earthstar-project/earthstar
It's like localStorage but it syncs and can be used for collaborative apps.
The point is to avoid the economic incentives of commercially supported software, though, so indeed it's made by volunteers in their spare time.
