> it would shame legislators from inserting language against the public interest and only meant to reward political contributors

You’d just got a system of favors for who inserts what language. You’d hand tough edits to your safe-seat colleagues and insert messaging amendments designed to get voted down for own comms.

When a measure becomes a target yada yada.

(Note: this proposal is for the U.S. code. Not bills. Git for the USC works.)

Huh, never thought of git as a "measure". Still don't.

Git is a tool, or more accurately in this case, an interface. The measure is the attribution of edits.
