That is essentially all that is being proposed.  The pull request
system already exists on github.  Really all the proposal is about is
better integrating it with bugzilla, which if anything makes the
content more accessible via FOSS tools.

Counter-intuitively, the repo itself is actually the part that
concerns me the least.  With git the local clone you keep on your
desktop is just as suitable as any other copy of the repo should we
ever have to hit the reset button.  The part that isn't distributed is
all the comments, discussion, issues, review, etc which generally goes
into bugzilla.  If that were also a distributed database I'd have few
concerns about where that was hosted, since we're essentially talking
about the hosting only.
