I'd definitely love something like this to take off in terms of async collaborative editing that can involve the public directly, but I don't see how Github is the place for that. It should be a government-run server and require some form of authentication that you're really a citizen of the jurisdiction the law would apply to. Even then, you'd get trolls, but at least they'd be American trolls and you're not handing over ownership of critical legal infrastructure to Microsoft.
