Figures, I'm told that's exactly how they were first done -
https://github.com/genjix/bips - only people found it inconvenient and
used the wiki instead.
Pathetic IMO for standards, but it wouldn't exactly be the first time
I've seen strong resistance to using revision control. (I quite
literally work with rocket scientists/satellite engineers who can't be
convinced to use it)
I dunno, maybe something using git submodules or subtrees - letting the
individual BIP "owners" make changes frequently until they're happy -
might have more social acceptance.
