Github for databases. I've been brainstorming occasionally about this idea... :)

Database version-control is IMHO going to be very important in the near future. I'd encourage you to go ahead with it!

Definitely!

So far gathered thoughts on this, documented some business and sustainability plans (some awesome ideas here), and planning a medium-term timeline to actually work on.

But this is very complex to handle on my own, and only in my spare time!

Have you thought about a database to target? I know there are 3rd party tools for SQL Server version control, but haven't been exposed to any for PostgreSQL, which is becoming my database of choice.

I have a number of them to target, part of the business plan is to cover several (very interesting) use cases, along with creating a shared workflow for these. So while some relational databases will be covered, so will other types.

Also note I'm interested in focusing open source databases first, if not only!
