That's why he said that Git's feature set doesn't go far enough. Most projects need an issue tracker and a tool for discussing proposed changes. These things are out of scope for Git, but since people needed them, they congregated around a centralised service that builds around it. Of course, decentralised alternatives for issue tracking and pull requests exist, too.

This is why Linus uses email. It’s the Unix way — Git is just another tool. It doesn’t need to be a website, and an issue tracker, and a change proposal database, and version control software, and a social media website, and pull request tracker. It just needs to be a version control software with some decentralization.

If todays developers were tasked to build the World Wide Web again, we would all log into some oAuth portal.
