This project was discontinued in 2016 but it looks like there are still some great projects that someone could pick up and revitalise. Thoughts?
We build tools that make government more transparent & accountable, then give them away to you. [Sunlight Labs closed down in late 2016.]

This looks really cool. I tried to convince someone of the benefits of doing something like this a couple years back.
If there was someone actively maintaining this project, I'd be interested in contributing to it.

Wasn't there something like open-government that created PRs for all proposed laws?

That's not the one. They create an issue per law proposal, not a PR. I can't find it anymore. But every amendment or law proposal was a PR and it made it so much easier to read.
:/ search results are pretty terrible. Only things I find are articles or discussions about how version control of laws should be a thing
There's a github repo for dutch laws, but no PRs, just one dude pushing to master. But the commits do have diffs: example.
