Hi,

I was speaking with a colleague last week about the possibility of using GitHub to manage paper submissions and reviews. The journal in question doesn't do open/accredited reviews, so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the following workflow:

- author submits paper by sending URL of public GitHub repo to journal

- journal creates private repo and merges author's submission into

- journal creates temporary accounts with auto-generated names for reviewers and gives them access to the newly-created private repo

- reviewers post comments: authors and editors can see them/respond to them, but identities of reviewers are known only to editors

- authors make changes in the private repo in response to reviewers' comments, and merge from that to their public repo when they want to

Thanks,

Greg
