What tools and changes do 'we' want for how 'we on github' is perceived as part of our identity?

'We' is including a domain of engineers, students, employees, employers, scholars, bug complainants, star-ers, watchers, forkers, and jobCreators...

'Our identity' is including a domain of identification, participation, faithfulness, ownership, responsibility, responsivity, lineage, heritage, autonomy, unity, temporality, follows, followed-by, and profile pictures...

Them 'perceiving' may now be an employer, fellow engineer, or utility algorithm, but I would like to plan for possible futures with higher orders of transparency in all these products.

I ask HN because I know this community will be a transforming force that anneals or explodes the potent artifacts of github. My opinion may be that github is a value, but my observation is that it has given me value. Now, what may we hypothesize together?

I miss the HN I grew up with (2017ish). This post's comment thread is the most important and maybe consequential so far, that I've read, of 2017. [comment bait]
