Ask HN: Database with Pull Requests?
I'm working on a volunteer project that will be creating a public database of election and ballot information. I'd like for people to be able to submit proposed updates to the data for review, similar to how you can submit a pull request for code changes on github.
Is there a platform/tool/database that lets people collaboratively manage a dataset like this?
The nearest examples I can think of are:
1. Github/Gitlab/etc. - Code-management platforms that keep track of version history and have the ability to have branches, issues, and merge requests.
2. Open Street Maps/Open Railway Maps/etc. - Wiki platforms that have version history and have tools for collaborative management of the map dataset.
However, I can't seem to find such a platform for collaborative database management. I guess I could try to hack in that kind of management by basically making the dataset a series of flat files on github and let people use that to file pull requests, but then things like foreign keys wouldn't automatically update.
