I don't think we can assume that everyone who uses Emacs and might report
a bug has an OAuth account, or would go ahead and make one for this.
I don't have one.  No GNU activity requires one.

Is it possible to have something run on a GNU server and use one
specific OAuth account to submit various people's Emacs bug reports,
all using a single shared OAuth account?
