Git is decentralized. Anybody who clones repository has full history of source code, all branches, etc. Only centralized thing is issue, pull request, code review comment history we could lose.

Well yeah, it's still a risk in my opinion. There are no decentralized servers out-there holding the bitcoin core codes in a decentralized manner, we would lose pull request, code reviews, histography, fixes, etc in case of a complete shutdown, that's not an if but a will in my opinion.
