>Fork functions, not just projects
I'm not dismissing your idea, but I'm not finding the value in this compared to copy-pasting that function.It'd also be beholden to all kinds of dependency checking to be practical unless it was a tiny function.
But i can see the benefits of granular ownership. You don't necessarily want to fork off a whole new repo just to have a contributor be responsible for a module but not the entire project.
