Current evaluation

User requests GitLab/Bitbucket as alternative GitHub authentication for Snap Store after their GitHub account was banned. No maintainer response in 1042 days.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: After 1042 days with zero maintainer engagement and no author follow-up, this feature request shows no signs of being addressed. While the underlying problem (GitHub account bans affecting Snap Store access) may still exist for some users, the issue has been completely inactive for nearly 3 years and the author has not responded to any requests for clarification. This is a feature request requiring significant architectural decisions rather than a bug fix, and the prolonged silence indicates it is not a maintainer priority.

Impact: 40 Quick Win: 16.0 Staleness: 95 Complexity: 60 Confidence: 65 Support Request: 70

Issue body

I have an 8 years long github account: https://github.com/yingshaoxo But it get banned by github, they say I said a fuck word at an issue, so they banned my account. That's why I could not link my account to snapcraft store. And I can't publish any software because of that. Here is the evidence: https://yingshaoxo.xyz/pictures/github/index.html In US movie or TV shows, it is normal to hear "what the fuck is going on here?" kind of words. But the fuck isn't really point to anyone. But for the whole GitHub community (or a private company), once someone said a fuck that does not point to anyone will get banned. And once they get banned, their repo will be 404, and they could no longer use Snapcraft store to upload any useful software. My suggestion to Snapcraft is: "Add gitlab/bitbucket as an alternative".
