This will not work very well together with more advanced CI based PR 
checks and feedback if the used software platform doesn't provide mature 
support for these kinds of distributed setups. Ignoring this limitation 
you'll quickly face inconsistent repository-states and chaos as 
consequence. Until now none of the well known software options is able 
to play well in federated mode.

Using the other "federated" instances just as old fashioned identity 
providers isn't a very convincing solution to solve any of the real 
challenges of setting up a more efficient and somehow future-proof 
collaborative development workflow.
