Yes, doing this would make it easier to use services like GitHub. For example, DataKit's GitHub bridge service uses webhooks to track changes in GitHub metadata (e.g. the status of branches, tags and PRs) and stores the state in another Git branch. The DataKitCI monitors this branch to know when to build things (and writes the status back there):

Would be simpler if GitHub offered this data in Git format directly.
