Every "mantra whisperer" (do you want to become one?) decides how to
determine trustwortship of requestors.

I personally don't ask for a GitHub account, but do accept anything
that can prove reputation (ie: a just-created github account gives no
credit).

Just a note: Gitea development has recently been targetted by vandals
using GitHub accounts (spam tickets).

Yes, it takes some work to register an OSGeo account.
Can that be of a value in this world of high noise/signal ratio ?
