Dear Admins,
Me (karatekhd@opensuse.org) and Adrien (nycticorax@opensuse.org) are currently working on a REST API for the openSUSE infrastructure (See https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/heroes@lists.opensuse.org/thread/RVXFYILF4RVK5V5IEE7O3FK5QVSPWWFW/ for more details and https://github.com/openSUSE/defrag-api for the source code).
Currently, we have implemented multiple features, some of which require authorization. Therefore, it would be really helpful if we could have access to the openSUSE authentication server, maybe in a way so that we can add clients to id.opensuse.org. The idea is to have users authenticate completely against the already existing infrastructure and we can just get a session token for our own purposes (= identify it as a unique, logged in, openSUSE user). Being able to add client to Ipsilon would also help me to continue working on the branding for Fedocal, as I currently can not work on anything that requires to be signed in to Fedocal.
Also, we would like to have access to an email address from the openSUSE mail server, so that we can send automated emails (e.g. reminders).
Thank you very much
~Jens

For sending, you don't need any "access" as such, only if you expect to receive anything, maybe replies or bounces.

There are two things implicit in Jens' request.
One. We'd like to be able to send to mailing lists, ideally via a service account.
Explanation: The goal is for the API to offer any consuming service the feature to schedule reminders addressed to varying sets of recipients. When the consuming service is an official openSUSE service, it would make sense to allow the consuming service to schedule reminders addresses to official openSUSE mailing lists. This implies that the API would ideally be able to use a service account bypassing the send-only-if-subscribed mechanism currently in place for the mailing lists.
Two. We'd like to be able to use a visually recognizable address, ideally from the "@opensuse.org" subdomain. So the second part of the request is whether the heroes would agree to let us create such an address.
