Registration process for git.copyleft.org?

[Bradley M. Kuhn]

Thanks for asking, Josh, this is an important question and sorry
there is no obvious answer on the site.  I'll try to fix that.

Sorry that I took a few days to answer this email; much of the new
infrastructure was set up in a hurry to meet the announcement date we wanted
(to coincide with GPLv3's 18th anniversary), so there are still some bugs
sitting around in the setup.

So, unfortunately, forgejo's only options are (a) unmoderated registration
open to the world or (b) admin-only creation of accounts.

We're worried about the unwieldiness of moderation, so we're going with (b).

It's going to be easiest for me if you want an account on git.copyleft.org to
please private mention @next at copyleft.org on the fediverse in reply to this
post: https://fedi.copyleft.org/@next/114809018445342879


If that doesn't work, email to me privately should work “eventually” as a
backup option.


I'm looking for a better solution than these two options, but it's the best I
can offer at the moment.
