The problem isn't the VCS part so much as all the code review/project management features of Github.

I seem to remember there was a decentralized VCS which included issue tracking besides commits, but it never was mainstream.

There's also plenty of DIY distributed issue tracker tools to keep issue tracking inside a git repo (often as yaml+markdown). I'm still surprised a good one hasn't stepped up with direct GitHub issue/project tool integration+sync, but that should certainly be a possibility.

They use self-hosted git repo and bugzilla.

It's not exactly less of a point of failure.
