I do agree that this is an issue.

Centralized things in the Internet are always bad.

We must find a way to have decentralized (and preferably, federated)
software development. I prefer them to be federated because, that way, a
member of a project can join other projects without registration and
without creating a clone of his account/profile (0Auth and OpenID are
somehow a bad example, since they rely on existing profiles with such
capabilities and just replicate information from these existing profiles
to create another one, and they do not serve the purpose of pure
interaction).

Perhaps an identity/certificate, that is created for that person, and
has an unified resource identifier or a hash of some sort. And in his
very computer the user can change his profile information and send it to
the projects that he's already part of. His profile could also have
OpenSSH keys within it.

As for the projects' repositories, perhaps we could have something that
uses P2P, but which is also able to receive identity/certificate updates
from the projects' members, and which is able to receive other
maintenance related orders like: requests for a non-member to join the
project, permission management, and so on.
