Yeah – the key thing here is that there is work to be done on the server, so JJ likely either needs its own forge or a GitHub App that handles managing PRs for each JJ commit.

I'm a huge fan of the JJ paradigm – this is something I'd love for us to be able to do in the future once one or both of: - we have more bandwidth to go down this road - JJ is popular enough that its worthwhile for us to do

That said I'd also love to see if anyone in the community comes up with an elegant GH app for this!!

As a satisfied customer of yours, the prospect of having to give up Graphite is the main thing keeping me from giving jj a try at my day job.

Ironic, since if there are a bunch of people in my boat, the lack of us in jj's user base will make it that much harder for jj to cross the "popular enough to be worth supporting" threshold.

My ideal is really just a version of `gt sync` and `gt submit` that handle updating the Graphite + Github server-side of things let you use `jj` for everything else, I think it could feel super nice. Probably not as simple as my dreams, but hopefully something we can get to with enough interest!
