I've been yelling 'omg why doesnt someone build a ticketing system on the basis of git, having a separate 'root' (no-parent git commit that is at the bottom of a git tree; technically a git repo can have more than one), with most of the conversation happening in git commit form' - for YEARS.

This is wildly exciting.

FWIW, this project made its first release in 2018. =) It's been posted to HN several times, though under its previous project URL, https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug (see https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=github.com/michaelmur...)

I had the same idea for a talk a long time ago the result is https://git.esy.fun/yogsototh/gpm

I never used it seriously, but the concepts are easy enough to grasp.

Have a separate dedicated branch that contains all the metadata of your project. Like issues, todo-list, review comments, etc...

Hopefully, something decentralised like this could become more popular maybe.
