In the context of decentralized technology there is a lot of gaps to bridge, as they are all context-specific
What we lack on Nostr is effective consensus mechanisms. When we can achieve decentralized consensus, we can achieve everything else.
The foundation of a Web of Trust is lists. Lists are the building block. On Nostr, this is NIP-51, which is why we now have sets of lists, kind 30000.
Even a few hours ago Pablo and Fiatjaf were considering wiki relay list management with yet another NIP-51 kind, and Pablo noted how NIP-51 could become bloated, assuming I interpreted their conversation correctly. I believe this trend will continue until NIP-51 lists become the foundation of the protocol. Sets of lists was an important step.
The rest isn't easy, but it will be rewarding.

Lists are the starting point. A proof of concept for curation of generic lists by your Grapevine with NO SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE already exists. What comes after lists? Graphs. Then more complex data models, which can be customized to the application or platform at hand.
One day, the nostr protocol will be curated by your Grapevine, at which point the nostr GitHub repo will become superfluous.
