Pulling GitHub into the kernel process

I see this mentioned in various places, then I get to the blockchain part of the webpage and remember why I end up closing the tab. It seems like an interesting project, but I feel like it has some of that "add the blockchain and it gets better" mentality. I'd really like some details as to what adding blockchain magic pixie dust would improve here for distributed hosting or software processes and why the alternatives to whatever it is doing aren't sufficient.
