User Authentication

[LecrisUT]

Description

There can be various aspects that can be improved if there is some user authentication. Initially it can be a simple read-only authentication that connects to FAS.

Benefit

Some usecases:

• Filter projects by maintainer status
• Connect to https://notifications.fedoraproject.org/ and alert users of failed pull_from_upstream or other trickier jobs
• Override (request to override) an upstream project's packager
• Another way to restart jobs. For copr_build + commit it would be preferred in order to re-trigger a single build
• Access to the copr project to request admin privilege or other stuff

Hiya! Yeah agreed, this is one of the things I proposed with Project Mycorrhiza with the other Packit folks. We're gathering data around this to see how much we can do but more integrations is core part of what I wanna improve with Packit.

Authentication is definitely one of them :D

Well, let's start small, let's get just the login feature in for now ;). testing-farm also recently added that just to generate user tokens.
