This isn't really true though.  There definitely are links to builds and
inline comments.  Though I agree on parts of this.  One missing thing as

it won't update as in GitHub when you add another "oops" commit.

Yeah.  One might also think that some contributions could trickle down
to sourcehut itself when emacs workflow settles, so the "github way" of
contributing could get a little love?
