At the time I made the proposal, I couldn't figure out a simple way to seed repos with Radicle like I was familiar with from GUI-based BitTorrent clients, and when I asked people in the community why it was so complicated, the answer I ended up with was that it was due to domain names / static IP addresses being required instead of onion addresses (or other decentralized cryptographic addresses)
Has that changed since then? Doesn't quite seem clear to me from the link you posted
Edit - after thinking about it a little more, I remember it may have been possible to use Tor via a proxy at the time I made the proposal, but it didn't work fully and wasn't anywhere near a 1 click solution like bittorrent. Still not sure if that's changed
Radicle doesn't have a 1-click solution to TOR and I2P, but there is a guide. Granted, radicle could do with a GUI configuration tool, but I think a fork and C rewrite are unnecessary to achieve that. A script around it could probably achieve the same. On nixos, it would be a simple matter of writing and sharing a configuration.
