Well, my colleague isn't a troll. A genuinely interested
party, but
he's not gonna go out of his way for it. I can't control the
natural
reaction that most people have to being confronted with a
registration
page.
I'd suggest openauth, and people using their github accounts;
I think
that's what people expect. I mean, most people just expect
the bug
tracker to BE on github ;)
Really? I've dealt with relatively few projects that use
github as a bug tracker, and it's been my experience that most
anything that's really serious has its own bugtracker (usually
some form of bugzilla) - though most such projects predate
github by a long shot. I'd think that signing up for a
bugtracker would be par for the course and that if anything,
the fact that a project was using github issues instead of its
own bugtracker would imply that it was small, which doesn't
necessarily give a good impression - especially for a compiler.
And with how simplistic github issues are in comparison to
bugzilla, I don't know why you'd want to use it other than the
fact that you don't have to go to the effort of setting up
your own bugzilla. I'd certainly hate to see us switch to
github issues just because a few folks weren't willing to sign
up for a bugzilla account, though for whatever reason, some
folks keep pushing for us to switch over.
I'm not suggesting switch to github. I've never suggested that.
I
understand it's inferior.
I'm suggesting supporting openauth.
Hold your breath - Vladimir is silently working on getting
Mozilla's Bugzilla fork mainstream again.
Actually it's not so silent - the Mozilla people call his work
"near-heroic efforts":

Some pointers:

And yes it will support OAuth 2.0 - but just GitHub Auth for the
time being because that's the most important one. The full list
is here:

You can join e.g. #dlang_org on Slack for more discussions about
this.
