I think that's the problem, they are still signing up on a centralized websites like the one owned by Microsoft (ie. Github) and have to push commits there.

You do have the ability to use Github without revealing your identity.  I believe developers using Tails OS can code conveniently.  What tools do you require?  Programming software can be stored in persistent storage.  Each commitment is automatically submitted through Tor. 

This is a requirement for any developer who chooses to enhance anonymity nowadays. 

To get rid of that centralization, we need a decentralized platform that offers all of this not just a place to store PGP keys.
Not to mention that storing PGP keys inside a transaction does NOT solve anything whatsoever.

Does this have to do with Saylor's new decentralized identity proposal?  Yes, it's just PGP, but more complicated.
