Ok. That could work if you found a group of people who are interested in such an all-in-one package. Gitlab is apparently working on a sort of cross-forge protocol (probably motivated by connecting Gitlab instances) and it seems that some Gitlab employees are working full time on the Git project. So those are candidates. You probably need a group which both have recognition within the project and are active enough to drive such a project forward without it fizzling out.

Without such a group you might just send a few emails to mailing list, get shrugs about how that plan “looks good” with little real interest, and then have to discuss this big plan in every future patch series that incrementally builds such a thing into Git itself. Mostly why such code should be incorporated and how it will pay off when it’s all ready.

The Git tool itself—and the project by extension—is per now very unopinioated about whole-project solutions like this. The workflow that they themselves use is very loosely coupled and pretty much needs bespoke scripting by individual contributors, which I guess is telling in itself.

I would have like to have seen what kind of issue resolution labels old Linus would have come up with. Resolved: YOU GIT has a nice ring to it.
