This is why I recommend decentralized protocols like radical or I guess I hope that tangled.sh could fix this stuff too.
I am not sure about tangled.sh, I might ask them in their discord about this now y'know.

Git is a decentralized protocol, it's just incomplete IMO
There is git format-patch to create a diff and git send-email [2] to mail it to another developer and git-am [3] to apply the patches from a mailbox.
The Linux kernel developers have been using that workflow for a lot of time. Maybe still now.

Yes, they do. Git itself is also developed that way.
Btw, you don't need to use format + send-email, send-email calls format-patch under the hood
Communication layer agnostic text files is a killer feature of git. What MS is doing with Github is typical EEE.
Git and GitHub are not the same thing. git repos can live independently of GitHub
What features do you feel like git is missing?
Reviewable merge requests, review comments, etc.

Git has a protocol called email.
Indeed push/pull wasn't even the original design intention of Git. It was a tool for one person to manage trees of emailed patch files.
Radicle.xyz fixes this with COBs (Collaborative Objects). They're stored inside your git repo as normal objects, and benefit from its p2p mechanism as well. It's the true sovereign forge.

Why?
Set up a second remote on Bitbucket or other and synchronize through that. Pipelined, etc might be missing but at least development can proceed.
