[Qgis-psc] spam in Redmine :-(

[Nathan Woodrow]

Do we have an option to link in oAuth style logins so people can use
Github, Google, etc to login? It just gives people another option than
being forced to make yet another login for a random site.

The less friction here the better because we really want a nice front for
users who want to report bugs for us.  We tell people to report bugs but
then make it hard for them to do so and it's really not cool.
