I think the above mischaracterizes DSA's response and opinion: specifically, there was an engagement with you in #debian-admin on or about April 3rd in response to this topic specifically. That said, please consider an approach that would see keycloak used as an idenitity broker, allowing external users to create accounts using social identities that are then promoted to full Debian identities (in LDAP) if they complete the onboarding process. Could be used as replacement for debsso, could be used for wiki, could be used for debconf, could be used for salsa. Thanks, Luca -- Luca Filipozzi
