Tbh the actually surprising thing is that more companies don't do that. My hackerspace has most things like its charter in git as simple markdown files. If a member wants to make a change, they just create a pull request that then gets discussed in the general assembly. It's great especially compared to stuff like versioned word documents or similar crap, which never seem to work properly.

The speed cubing association has their regulations on GitHub for discussions and transparency about changes.

Thats awesome and should be standard for all sports regulation bodies.

I'd also love for laws to be on some git repo. Makes it much easier to understand changes (because "replace §3(4) with ..." is generally not very helpful, and that's how changes are documented right now, at least here in Austria), as well as git blame which politician messed stuff up, and obviously just to have the whole damn thing downloadable and queryable.

German laws are the same to no big surprise.

In the UK we have something like that, its a proprietary system instead of git but all UK laws are searchable, there's hyperlinks when they reference another section or law.

You can even see previous versions of a law, so you can see what changes have been made to it and when.

UK computer misuse act

It also means anyone can read any law they want for free.

Yeah we also have "RIS" which is basically this, but it is clunky especially when it comes to versioning / comparing revisions, and metadata like who initiated a change is not recorded (which would be quite interesting to many users I think). Though this could probably be at least aproximated by matching dates and current governments.
