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?
