I would really rather just type my name in than give any random blog I want to comment on permission to "Update your public repositories (Commits, Issues, etc)."

Yeah, can't you define what permissions you use, similar to how google oauth operates?

With github, shouldn't: - Read your public information.

Be enough - it's no more than anyone else can find out about you!

It requires that role to make new issue comments on your behalf, no way around it.

That's more than a bit of a deal breaker. Can't believe how many people have just handed him the keys to their Github account. It's the ultimate hacker honey pot!

It's the same info you'd give Dabblet or CodePen.

[nicpottier]

Well I wouldn't give it to them either.

Seriously, you would give a 3rd party full commit access to all your repos? That's crazy talk.
