Hey Aaron, Thank you for wanting to help!
Last year (or maybe a little earlier) I asked Nikita about the relevance of the problem, I quote the answer: >It looks like someone worked on this in the past, but it was never finished. >At least the database has related leftovers (auth and tokens tables which are >unused). >I think an important question here is whether (long term) we want to have our >own authentication implementation at all. Now that all contributors need to >have a GitHub account anyway, it may make sense to move towards authenticating >everything through GitHub instead. Perhaps something has changed in the meantime and I will be corrected =) — wbr, Sergey Panteleev
