What do you want to see in a next-generation GitHub in the age of AI?
AI coding agents are making it much cheaper to produce code, and that may change the bottleneck in software projects from writing code to evaluating, reviewing, and safely integrating changes.
I’m curious what people here would actually want to see in a next-generation Git repo hosting platform.
What do you want that GitHub, GitLab, Forgejo, SourceHut, etc. do not currently provide?
A few areas I’m wondering about:
* Handling much higher PR volume * Better maintainer controls * Machine-readable project policies * Risk scoring before human review * AI agents as first-class contributors with owners, permissions, and trust history * Better ways for projects to say what kinds of changes they actually want * More open or portable alternatives to GitHub
What would be genuinely useful?
What would be over-engineered, annoying, or harmful? Git hosting needs to be completely reimagined with the assumption that LLMs are the ones doing the vast majority of Git contributions, not humans directly. What do you think that reimagining looks like? Genuinely wondering A next-gen platform should be just be 'GitHub w/a Chatbot." It needs to be a verification engine that treats code as a liability and human attention as the rarest resource in the building. Isn't that just Gitlab with Duo turned on? a native support for AGENTS.md would be huge as it's already the standard every AI coding tool reads for project context but right now it lives in the repo but github does nothing with it, but if github surfaced it can be machine readable project policies Ask HN: Are we misunderstanding AI “hallucinations”?
