If a hosted Gerrit service could use ANY OAuth provider, surely there's a sufficiently neutral and uncontroversial one somewhere that works for LilyPond purposes? The big-name tech companies all tend to have fair numbers of people avoiding them by principle. GNU Social (no experience, little research) apparently has an Open ID service, which is similar-but-different than OAuth? -- Karlin High Missouri, USA
