With respect, I must disagree. This resource is incredibly easy to
maintain--and practically useless--because nobody can get on there.

If somebody or somebodies here is thinking about some kind of single
sign-on[1] system for developers, let's discuss that separately. I
don't recall anybody deciding that we were going to use one, and I
certainly don't recall that it's been decided that that decision gates
access to git.postgresql.org.

Cheers,
David.

[1] For me, "single sign-on" reads as "high-value target" from an
attacker's point of view, and I generally think the convenience isn't
worth the cascading failure modes such systems have.
