Would some combination of: bundle published via uv mechanism and announced via some url on the upstream fossil (e.g. fossil/pull) work? The pull requests could be manipulated by the primary developers similar to how wiki pages can be moderated. So my thought is: fossil bundle export --publish implement_pull_method.bundle --branch pull which because of the --publish does a: fossil uv add implement_pull_method.bundle which then automatically sends a post to: https://www.fossil-scm.org/pull user: rou...@example.com url: https://my.fossil.repo/fossil/uv/implement_pull_method description: {derived from last checkin message maybe} then doing a get on: https://www.fossil-scm.org/pull (or running fossil pull list ) for somebody logged in and allowed to see pull requests can run: fossil bundle import https://my.fossil.repo/fossil/uv/implement_pull_method test, publish, purge etc.... Verbs like: fossil pull list - list name/owner/artfact_id ... for all pull requests fossil pull allow - make available for sync (c.f. moderator approval of wiki) fossil pull delete artifact_id - delete pull request fossil pull describe artifact_id - show description/url and other info to round out management of the pull request.
