Yea I agree, this is nice stuff to have, but in my view is not compelling for fossil which sets itself apart by being lightweight and simple. There are numerous collaborative development platforms out there already. I’ve messed around with a few of them and they are definitely cool and if I had a larger team working on stuff I’d definitely consider them over fossil for exactly the reasons you lay out. However, I do not feel that Fossil is in the same space as them, it sets itself apart by being lightweight and simple and addresses the core needs of SCM, with a "good enough" ticketing system for a few people to collaborate on”. There are actually many things about the ticketing and SCM in fossil which are bare bones compared to what I am used to in the workplace and have caused me to wish for something more elaborate in terms of peer review workflow, etc…but at the end of the day, the real strength of fossil its is simplicity and lightweight nature..so those kinds of advanced features will probably never get there and that’s fine. I think fossil is great for what it is. What you’re hoping for would be a very large development effort to obtain in fossil, and then it would cease to r itself from the other large offerings that are already out there, as the simple lightweight solution.
