I've been dumbfounded that GH hasn't invested in the space. There's tons of obvious surface area still available for automation.

A one-off project of mine tries to improve supply-chain license management for projects [1]. I got bit once by an MIT licensed project that accidentally took a GPL dependency a couple versions later. That was a pain to notice without analyzing transitive dependencies. Never again.

GitHub has the advantage of a low barrier to entry for their tools. A lot of their features are inferior to special-purpose tools, but they can expect high usage because a lot of users shrug and live with it.

It's not so dumbfounding when you uncover what Microsoft's real goals and aspirations are for Github.

“Uncover” meaning “believe the same stuff that I believe, based on 20 year old tech history that everyone knows already”. There’s no secret here.

Would you like to spell them out? It's not exactly clear if you're thinking of the same ideas as other people, a conspiracy to take over the world, or something in between.
