NIP-96: Code Collaboration over Nostr

[KaffinPX]

I'm proposing and developing a solution for managing code/repositories over Nostr without storing actual data on it but on an alternate network.

CLI client: https://github.com/fostr-dev/cli
Web client: https://fostr.dev -- source code: https://github.com/fostr-dev/web

Maybe we should call it "Code Collaboration over Nostr" bcs its much complicated for file distribution?

I think this spec is too vague, and doesn't seem to have any immediate use cases. People mostly use git for code collaboration, not sending files over a web client. And this relies on IPFS to store things?

Its successor of #223 and Git was a centralized service and our CLI client mimicks it well, IPFS is only used by our clients, people can use torrents, tor links or smth that proves integrity on their custom clients

Also about theres no any immediate use cases, our current IPFS default node is storing more than 50 GB, we saw lots of things already uploaded like Bitcoin whitepaper. I hope people decentralizes their repos more by pinning.

It seems like this could be accomplished with the existing NIP-94 event.
