I might be misremembering, but I think Dist-Git was originally short
for "Distribution Git". It was the first attempt to marry a binary
store to Git, predating git-annex and Git LFS by several years.

Ha, okay, actually, "distribution Git" makes more sense. Thank you!

I've changed it in the README.



Which README? Where is it located?

Here: https://github.com/release-engineering/dist-git

I agree that using "Fedora Package Source Repository"
instead of just "Fedora DistGit" is clearer (but also longer
so I, personally, like your Glossary suggestion the best).
