When I followed the above link I found information that github encourages 
apps that let people do interesting things with their repo access. You 
need to have an app key to use their authentication. So if you wanted 
to use github's authentication to grow a competing service, they could 
shut you down. Pagure would only compete on some levels and they may 
not be worried about it. But it is still a risk.
