The objective is to target USA citizens who host their blogs there. Italian banks, EU-based payment processors and domain registrars will still block you if you are sanctioned by the USA Treasury, to avoid being cut off the global financial

That sounds like you do want a protocol. You have listed several requirements of one such protocol: 1) Patches at git-email would make them; 2) Issues in markdown format; 3) Authentication with OIDC; and others depending how strictly you me

It depends on what your priors are for what's "needed". If you think 80k employees are needed to do what the Wikimedia Foundation does, their fundraising is way too humble. :-)
