Despite being one of the earlier signups I have never fully grasped what it's actually good for.

Time and time again I forget about it and when I check the website it seems to be doing something different - but it all sounded very centralized, first the gpg keys, then the file-sharing and chat - it doesn't seem to be federated.

So unless some entity steps up as the de-facto api-compatible replacement, I don't see how having the code alone would help, unless you want a chat solution for a handful of users?
