I think you're saying "the current system is antiquated, and we need a new one," but I'm not convinced Github is the right one. Sure, Github has great ideas like forking and transparency, but it also has a ton of barriers, like memorizing a bunch of terminal commands/flags or using a relatively buggy UI. You could also argue that Github reduces the weight of a (citizen) vote or a comment. Just because we trust anonymous feedback for products on Amazon and news stories does not mean we should have the same trust in legislation. I think what's needed is a new system designed from the ground up, using the good ideas that git has but avoiding the limiting ones.
