Issue #89863 has been updated by cboltz.

Category set to Mailing lists
Assignee set to pjessen

The "sign up" is intentionally closed because it would create a
separate account just for the mailinglists, and that would probably
cause more harm/confusion than necessary. (Per, would it be possible
to get rid of the "register" link on the login page, or is this too
complicated because of translations etc.? Alternative question: Would
it be possible to have a more useful text on the "registration
closed" page?)

The recommended way is to login with your openSUSE account. For this,
click the "openSUSE" button on
https://lists.opensuse.org/accounts/login/?next=/manage/lists/factory.lists.opensuse.org/

Does this work for you?

I don't have an opensuse account. (I didn't migrate my old one). I
could create a new one but I'd prefer to login with my existing github
credentials if that is possible.

We could just use a clever piece of css:

[href^="/accounts/signup/"] {
  display: none;
}

which would hide every single signup link on the site (at least in hyperkitty, it would still show up in postorius, because we don't do anything with the stylesheets there)

It also wouldn't harm us to redirect /accounts/signup/ to the SUSE signup page?

and via github
https://lists.opensuse.org/accounts/github/login/?process=login says:

"Server error
"An error occurred while processing your request."

This is fixed now
