Kind of out there, but what prevents modification of the law from bad actors? Git history plays a part but is it possible for someone to edit a change and play all the subsequent changes on top of it, with the hope that nobody notices the sha change?

We have internal systems that allow us to audit/authenticate the repository. We will be deploying a cryptographic authentication framework based on TUF in Q1 2019 that will make it possible for _anybody_ to audit/authenticate the repository.
For anyone else wondering about TUF, I believe it refers to The Update Framework (TUF)[0].

Is this in the context of the DC law repos chronicled here?

If we are DC local how can we get involved?

It is. Ping me at dgreisen (at) openlawlib.org if you're interested in helping out.
