  @taavi Adding Superset support to Pywikibot was pretty one of  the first use 
cases for Superset when it published the replica access, and the point of it is 
that it doesn't require a Toolforge account as because managing the new 
Toolforge accounts doesn't scale. For example, there are security reasons not 
to create Toolforge accounts for random workshop  participants or, in our 
current case, for Outreachy contribution period volunteers, if nothing else.  
Using OAuth login and HTTP API will scale to that usecase.
  
  Another thing is that this affects other tools too, not just superset. For 
example, Wikimedia Commons Query Service, which is used and it is meant to be 
used from bots. Also If the general idea is to put tools behind OAuth, then it 
will become a problem pretty fast for the bots and other server side tools, 
which you need to address. (i.e.,
