[Qgis-psc] QGIS issue-tracker: only osgeo-login or also QGIS-local logins?

[Matthias Kuhn]

I am in favor of allowing to create a local QGIS account. I really like
the osgeo single-sign-on idea but the current situation with the mantra
is sub-optimal. We want users to be able to report issues, putting extra
obstacles into their way will not improve issue report quality.

I think what's missing currently is a paragraph or two that explain this
on the registration page to allow users making an informed decision.

And of course the possibility to login with a github account ;)
