Checkout the openmmlab project [1], where messy research codes in computer vision are rewritten an reorganized into a coherent whole. If there are more researchers join this, then not only research are fully reproducible, much more accessible to everyone, but also be compared fairly. (I'm the maintainer of mmpose [2], mmaction2 [3], and mmediting [4])
