This looks fine if you're a single developer working on a (relatively) small project, but what happens when you grow to two developers? Or you hand off the project? At that point shouldn't the API registration be tied to the application and not the developer?

That said, it's probably more important to lower the initial barrier for entry to drive adoption.

Is there anyway to tie it to the team instead of just the developer?

looking at the (GitHub) API.. doesn't seem like it

http://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/#scopes

edit: hmm, now I'm not sure. looking at my employer's organization (that I have the 'owner' role on) I can certainly authorize apps via GitHub.com.
