Wasn’t there something like open-government that created PRs for all proposed laws?

That’s not the one. They create an issue per law proposal, not a PR. I can’t find it anymore. But every amendment or law proposal was a PR and it made it so much easier to read.

:/ search results are pretty terrible. Only things I find are articles or discussions about how version control of laws should be a thing

There’s a github repo for dutch laws, but no PRs, just one dude pushing to master. But the commits do have diffs: example.
