Singapore Government Tech Stack
I'm sure there might be because several years ago the U.S. created the U.S. Digital Service with the premise being recruiting professionals (yeah mostly from corporate but not only) to spend time in the government and help modernize many of its aspects and offerings...for the benefit of the citizens, etc. Here's one example of their playbooks: https://playbook.cio.gov/
...While not exactly like the Singapore page linked in this post, alot of the intent with the USDS - as i understand it - is alos to be quite transparent with the hope of any other government agencies/orgs such as state/province level, city level, etc. benefiting from their ideas and hopefully broadening the benefit at all levels. Here is the main site, but of course (as the above playbook link denotes), there are plenty of other related sites that might help better answer your question: https://www.usds.gov/mission

IRS to Ditch Biometric Requirement for Online Access
Check out 18F / US Digital Services.
GSA has really upped the game over the past 10 years for digital services delivery. Such as Login.gov. Look for other places 18F/USDS are involved, and you'll see significant improvements.

Do [lawmakers and aides] make good "Product Owners", stakeholders, app feedback capability utilizers? GitLab has Service Desk: you can email into the service desk email without having an account as necessary to create and follow up on [software] issues in GitHub/BitBucket/GitLab/Gitea project management sytems.
> That's changing at the federal level. They know they've got a problem. Why shouldn't federal software be as easy to use as the best web software? If you've ever tried to use it you will quickly learn that isn't the case.

Has anyone ever actually heard from anyone or had an interaction with the US Digital Service?
I only have interactions with them on the CMS (Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services) in which they basically fixed what CGI fucked in conjunction with a small company called Adhoc and other contractors. They are known, at least in my community, for pushing SAFe agility as well as promoting the USDS Playbook. I worked with the group for about 2 years on a small contract and they were highly intelligent group of people, but were adamant about bringing startup mentality and practices to monolithic systems. This rubbed a lot of big name contractors the wrong way and tore up the community quickly. I'd argue for the better but it was a bloodbath for folks who weren't prepared during the Obama admin.

There is no reason this app should NOT be opensourced. They should be defaulting to open per Play 13 of the US Digital Service handbook > https://playbook.cio.gov/#play13.

- Backlog at BVA and mass hiring for virtual lawyers

The most important part of modern government is database management.
Most of the paperwork filed are shipped, scanned, and processed into digitized forms into a system of record known as Veterans Benefit Management System (VBMS) here at the VA. VA Regional Office staffers can then pull the digital records for further processing.
I supported the VBMS team's effort in migrating to a cloud based environment in 2017/2018 and my team help start the Caseflow/Appeals project, a system used to track appeals cases - which relies on VBMS daily. Caseflow is open source as well.

The US Digital Services Playbook
These plays can work. Why? Because USDS employees are government employees with escalation paths all the way up to the very top which gives them a lot of power to break down bureaucratic barriers to modern software development that government contractors & consultants would have no chance of doing. They then can bring in contractors to work in the relatively modern shell that they've created.
For example, here's a project started by the USDS in 2015. It's responsible for managing the complex bureaucratic process of VA legal appeals. (https://github.com/department-of-veterans-affairs/caseflow) It's open source, continuously integrated and deployed with close to 100% test coverage, deployed on an AWS GovCloud VPC, and was built on a fraction of the budget of similar systems.
Active development on this system is now done primarily by contractors now that the relevant bureaucratic barriers were removed.
How do we scale this story? More talented people with the desire to serve their country.
What are some alternatives?
uswds - The U.S. Web Design System helps the federal government build fast, accessible, mobile-friendly websites.
git_reflow - Reflow automatically creates pull requests, ensures the code review is approved, and squash merges finished branches to master with a great commit message template.
govuk-design-system - One place for service teams to find styles, components and patterns for designing government services.
ActiveWorkflow - Polyglot workflows without leaving the comfort of your technology stack.
ja3 - JA3 is a standard for creating SSL client fingerprints in an easy to produce and shareable way.
open-case-filing-system - A worthy contender in the race for a replacement to the Case Management / Electronic Case Filing System.
