"work on" it how? "thoughts and prayers?"
I fail to understand how it can be 2023, and GitLab have full IPv6 support, but GitHub is all "... oh, is this IPv6 thing new? we'll put it on the backlog with the extremely limited resources of .. err, Microsoft .. who are currently occupied with some OpenAI something-or-other ..."

IPv4 will continue to dominate until IPv4 experience is very noticeably degraded for users or seriously more expensive for providers to get an address.
It's just reality, it's hard to care about non-problems, specially when fixing them creates real my-problems.
