>The reason why I do not think that using Git for that as a good idea is that there is no such validation after applying a commit for an informal text (English in our case), and so plenty of inconsistencies can be introduced by a commit. Have you done this or seen it in action, or is this just a theory? > And that's without even talking about the fact that the "discussions" on GitHub are not AFAIK archived AFAIK by the IETF, and thus an easy way to shove a technology covered by a submarine patent in an RFC. At least email-based reviews are available forever in the IETF archives. The GitHub archives that the IETF makes include archives of the issues and PR's, courtesy of Martin's tooling.
