Well that would be what I was missing. I guess this should be much less controversial, then, if it's OK for people to just continue using dist-git forever and completely ignore src-git? Nobody is ever required to use something other than dist-git to contribute changes to Fedora packages that use src-git? It's smart enough to not break src-git if I commit new patches to a package via dist-git?

Hi, this is NOT how it works. There is some clarification here:

So you really do need access to src-git in order to make arbitrary changes to the Fedora package. And that limitation makes sense to me. This means wherever src-git is hosted really does become part of our critical path infrastructure.
