That would indeed be a perfect solution. But the current login system is managed by SUSE-IT. There are flags to mark an account as SUSE employee. Maybe there is a possibility to get a similar flag for * openSUSE members * openSUSE heroes * other groups? => Technically no big deal. Someone would have to create a "ticket" anyway to get people added to a group or two.
Considering that tickets for for example removing accounts of spammers ended up in a void (or rather our ticket system) for a long time without anybody looking at them, I have 0, zero, null and none trust in that working out. We do need a system with which heroes can actually help out and which can be used by membership officials without jumping through hoops.
* we need to have our own login system for gdpr/foundation reasons anyway (that was discussed during gdpr meeting last year)
Interesting! Can you please share me the meeting minutes?
If that existed it was lost to time, mostly because everybody involved with GDPR stuff is extremely busy, and the meetings haven't managed to turn into a regular thing; please reach out to SUSE Legal though, I'm sure they would be happy to explain to you why clear divide of ownership of data within infrastructure is necessary for GDPR reasons.
Maybe we all should just switch over to Fedora's infrastructure and invest our saved time in collaboration?
How about we use a system which actually allows us to contribute to it, instead of something which not only requires signing CLA, but also apparently requires patching vital functionality and because of it breaks with updates. I know SUSE very much prefers to use tools that are either proprietary or very hard to contribute to though from my experience, so that may not be an actual argument that gets through.
