afaik, PRs arent decentralized as they arent git features, as such so far you need an account on the same git-platform e.g. github to be able to use such features.
Having such features decentralized would be huge.
Comment on Proposal for GitLab to support ActivityPub

Hold on, are we trying to decentralize an intentionally-centralized point for an already decentralized source versioning system? 😅

I don’t think of GitLab as super centralized (compared to GitHub) because you can run your own instance. Communication between GitLab instances would be huge

Not quite.
A project’s repo would still be in one centralized location, like gitlab.com. But you’d no longer need an account on gitlab.com to make a pull request.

He’s saying Git is already decentralized, GitLab isn’t.
A project using mailing lists for development can already receive patches from (pretty much) any mail server (while still having a central Git repo).
It’s kinda surprising it took this long for this to come to Git “forges” TBH.
