And having multiple maintainers maintaining a single "canonical" git repo is the sweetest thing ever. Merging changes from many different sources into a single "master" is actually *fun* as opposed to painful with a centralized VCS.

What does this have to do with whether the repository is centralized or distributed?

The fact that you can quickly try doing it several different ways without affecting the "official repo" is a big plus.

There's no reason anyone should take my word for this, but I didn't really "get it" about DVCSes until I actually tried using Git for a while. Something about it changes the user experience drastically in ways that are simply not obvious until you've gotten used to it.
