Searching for keywords?  Maybe this works without a database, I'm a

I would like to have instantaneous updates, i.e., the contributor sees
his new snippet integrated in the LSR as it will be visible to all
others after the snippet got approved.

This might work for new snippets, yes.  However, I think that 'pull
requests' don't work for small updates and edits.
