> Also, I don't want to have to maintain an account on a Gitlab (or equivalent) server for every project. Anyone who has enough interest to troll through issues on a project or open an issue already has a Github account. It lowers the barrier to entry for your project.
There are multiple ways to go around this, OpenID, Mozilla Persona, or any third-party authenticator.

I see this more of an additional reason for big projects to move away from Github. It gives unwarranted legitimacy to everything on the platform.
- beshrkayali 11y agoI just realized that Persona is going to be discontinued. Unfortunate, but alternatives can be whipped up I guess. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Persona https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Persona > On November 30th, 2016, Mozilla will shut down the persona.org services. Persona.org and related domains will be taken offline.
