Comment (by wildintellect):

 I'm -1 on hosting forums in general as they are hard to keep secure, not
 to mention comment moderation issues. I would suggest Geoserver consider
 https://gis.stackexchange.com/ and having community members become
 moderators there.

 QGIS actually got rid of their forums a few years back, relying instead on
 mailing list+nabble (for forum like interaction), and GIS stackexchange as
 the official forum (less silo'd). They also bridge their IRC to gitter.

 As for github logins, I hope someday many of our platforms with support
 multiple auth methods. It's on the wishlist.
