But the bad news is, that there is also the colobus system which powers the NNTP-server backend that a number of people use to interact with the mailing-list. Which also has an authentication and would therefore need to be switched. So we are back at 9 services. And we switched one that is completely under our control to one that isn't as we are merely using a (rather old by now) service.I've looked into colobus a fair amount, and it does not use authentication itself. It accepts requests to post to newgroups, but then it appears to primarily act as a proxy for ezmlm, which has it's own form of authentication, and we're not going to be able to tie the ezmlm authentication to GitHub. -- Cheers, Ben
