Upgrading auth.User - the profile approach

This proposal presents a "middle ground" approach to improving and refactoring auth.User, based around a new concept of "profiles". These profiles provide the main customization hook for the user model, but the user model itself stays concrete and cannot be replaced.

I call it a middle ground because it doesn't go as far as refactoring the whole auth app -- a laudable goal, but one that I believe will ultimately take far too long -- but goes a bit further than just fixing the most egregious errors (username length, for example).

This proposal includes a fair number of design decisions -- you're reading the fifth or sixth draft. To keep things clear, the options have been pruned out and on the one I think is the "winner" is still there. But see the FAQ at the end for some discussion and justification of various choices.

Robots policy for github projects

This is a sketch of a proposal for a "robots.txt for github" -- a policy that defines what actions automated tooling can take against a given repository.

Identification

Bots self-identify, and use project/repo-style naming. So code that lives at https://github.com/jacobian/coolbot identifies as jacobian/coolbot. Forks should generally use the upstream identifier until/unless they become different enough to warrent new names. This is a matter of judgement.

Policy file location: .github/robots.yml
