Not GP, but is that actually a real problem? Take a project like OpenBSD where the code, the bug tracking , and the design discussion happens in different place?
Even in reality, you don’t put the workshop in the conference room.
We are a software dev/consulting company. We have a lot of client repos and a lot of different internal teams. It's a real and significant problem for us and we are a pretty small org.
I've done consulting with bigger orgs (Fortune 500) and the more systems they have the harder it is to find things. It's a problem for them too.
So..in short, yes it's a real problem.
