What's interesting is that this looks like a service anyone can use. API and everything.

It’s open source, and Australia and Canada have both deployed instances. Would love to see a US (or state run) instance.

You’d want it under the authority of GSA (like Login.gov), as a foundational service (messaging.gov).

Reusable open source components all governments can use is still a huge improvement over the status quo, where each government overpays contractors to build suboptimal solutions that remain closed source.
