Thanks Tim,
I have the same preferences,

Having a painless option to signup through QGIS itself and thus make it
less spam-prone sounds great.

We probably still need a "classic" signup way through webpages for the
"I can't signup because my QGIS crashes on start scenario" and that
would be solved by the github, other oAuth or osgeo login.
