I don't use github enough to share the gripes in "Dear GitHub." They seemed kinda minor and I understand why they wouldn't be in the product.

What about implementing an API to let other people implement some of the needed features?

Sure, that's a possible solution.

I wasn't trying to convey a position that something shouldn't be done, I'm just expressing that I understand the wide breadth of possibilities for why it hadn't been done.
