The thing is, it's not really about the code. Git is already distributed by design. You always have a local copy and backing up is as simple as throwing repos on a USB drive. So I don't think the analogy is quite right.
What GitHub excels at is the "social" side of code. Issues, pull requests, discovery. Those are important aspects, of course, and why it's so popular.
