This project was discontinued in 2016 but it looks like there are still some great projects that someone could pick up and revitalise. Thoughts?

This looks really cool. I tried to convince someone of the benefits of doing something like this a couple years back.

If there was someone actively maintaining this project, I'd be interested in contributing to it.

Wasn't there something like open-government that created PRs for all proposed laws?

That's not the one. They create an issue per law proposal, not a PR. I can't find it anymore. But every amendment or law proposal was a PR and it made it so much easier to read.

:/ search results are pretty terrible. Only things I find are articles or discussions about how version control of laws should be a thing

There's a github repo for dutch laws, but no PRs, just one dude pushing to master. But the commits do have diffs: example.
