Frankly all RE and emulation projects should at least have a mirror there.

What ever was wrong with just selfhosting your own git server, again? Or mirroring it to a handful of different providers in different countries.

Selfhosted git servers don’t automatically replicate without extra tooling and don’t provide collaboration and project tracking features. The goal is to replace something like Github with a distributed, automated, integrated setup. Not easy to accomplish.
Once it’s mature, this will create the ability to easily host project infrastructure across multiple nodes, owned by multiple people, where you can verify integrity as long as you accessed the repository in the past. If the hosting nodes are behind Tor, this will be a very secure setup. For repos that may face legal attacks, like emulators and tools like yt-dlp, this is huge.
