A heavier-duty thing to do would be to have the IETF own a GitHub org and hand out per-WG and per-individual-submission repos. Then the IETF could make sure that each of those repos have: a) README and NOTE-WELL files, b) a LICENSE file, c) authorizations for the relevant WG chairs and document editors/authors. The IETF could also mirror these to other git repo hosting sites as a backup. Now, that would take some tooling and so will cost something, but eventually I think we'll want that. Nico --
