• OAuth 2.0 which GitHub supports is pretty straightforward. Request a token via GET, get a temporary code and turn that into an access token.
• An application has to be registered. The domain has to match or the login will fail.
• Getting user details like nickname/fullname/email requires gitHub-specific API, although that's just one more GET.
• Mojolicious::Plugin::OAuth2 looks to make OAuth 2.0 easy to implement. Bonus points for supporting various other services by design.
• We could get the gravatar avatar and use it - this would be a new feature.

My proof of concept actually turned into a working implementation pretty quickly.

On a side note, we could hypothetically use GitHub credentails for needle editing. Although I didn't explore this further.

• We could get the gravatar and use it - this would be a new feature.

We already support gravatar. Isn't that only based on the email?

Sorry, I actually meant avatar there. The email is optional if the user chooses to hide it. So using the provided avatar would work better in that case.

Note: @tinita was so kind to me help out by preparing a package for the OAuth 2.0 plugin: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/811723

The request for Factory is here: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/811785 (still in review)

https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/811785 is accepted. PR has has at least still one open unresolved comment https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/3150#discussion_r439386640
