This seems like a reach. A nice benefit of having these server-owned configuration flags with a slick UI (like launchdarkly) is that they can be modified by people on the fly, and by people who may not even be engineers (like product managers). I imagine, that if the ask is that they instead get GitHub permissions, make a PR, wait for a review, etc, then perhaps you are not competing with launchdarkly. Though, having Git controlled server-owned configuration is still nice regardless.
