dub-registry: Implement OAuth support for Github login & package management

[Geod24]

Description

Add support for user registration / authentication using Github's OAuth, then add support for package management based on OAuth.
See details here: dlang/dub-registry#475

What are rough milestones of this project?

• Add user registration / authentication based on Github OAuth and get it deployed;
• Add the ability to register a package based on one's own Github repository (alternatively, automatically do such a registration);
• Allow multiple people to manage the same package based on a repository's collaborator (e.g. people with a "Maintainer" status);
• Build a transition page to convert a package from the old scheme to the new one;

How does this project help the D community?

• Simplify the registry user registration / management process;
• Make it possible for multiple people to manage a package;
• Make transfer of a package's ownership on Github also transfer the ownership on the registry without Sonke's intervention;

Recommended skills

Very little. One will need to read the OAuth specs, but that's part of the project. Then it's a matter of implementing it in https://github.com/dlang/dub-registry and get it deployed.

What can students expect to get out of doing this project?

• Understanding of OAuth;
• Understanding of the registry's architecture;

If anyone touches dub-registry it should be a criminal offense not to fix the search at the same time 😬
