 Our Buildbot installation should allow developers to log in with their
 GitHub account, rather than maintaining a separate username and password.

 Buildbot 0.8 has no built-in support for this. Buildbot 0.9 does but I
 don't want to upgrade to 0.9 at this time.

 Buildbot 0.8 can be configured to trust the user information provided to
 it by a reverse proxy:

 http://docs.buildbot.net/0.8.14/manual/cfg-statustargets.html#http-based-
 authentication-by-frontend-server

 The MacPorts Buildbot currently runs WebStatus behind a simple nginx
 reverse proxy.

 It was suggested on the Buildbot mailing list that we should try to use
 this:

 https://github.com/bitly/oauth2_proxy

 We would need to add a MacPorts port for it.
