The troll PR's are hysterical, especially the one trying to add the Linux Kernel. But I really see this as a novel way for legislation to be drafted, put out a piece of legislation and then accept modifications from constituents. Obviously there are many kinks that would have to get worked out, ensuring you are only accepting contributions from actual constituents and providing a way for non-technical users to contribute.
EDIT:
Even without the ability to PR, having full text of legislation that can be parsed by computers can be a gamechanger. Imagine having a bot that distills the contents on an Omnibus Bill (usually a few thousand pages) into several paragraphs of summary on all the important points, broken down by pork barrels, stuff from previous bills, etc.
