Random crazy idea that might be useless or contraproductive: have users install a small daemon that notifies the server about their workspace changes in between commits, so you can see what people are working on live. In a team setting such as where I work, it's somewhat arbitrary that I only learn about work once it's committed and pushed. It would be interesting to see in real time what people are messing around with. But I also like the idea of asynchronicity, and taking inspiration from open source collaboration into the business world, rather than the other way around... By the way, it seems to me that the basic functionality of GitHub and GitLab is quite simple, and the kind of thing you could make an MVP of in a weekend or two, if you carefully avoid complications and keep it ruthlessly simple...
