Comment (by Clorith):

 Yeah, an automatically generated user was my thought process here as I
 suspected there would be limitations in the SVN setup, so that would
 basically make it function as today, only that a second committer is
 automatically added for a new user that's generated on plugin approval.

 I'd say that making it a part of the automated process that happens when a
 plugin is approved could be great, here, I'm honestly not sure what the
 best approach would be for existing entries though, might need a bit more
 thought in that regard. I guess my use of "key" was confusing here, it
 would be more "its own user which has a normal password, but since it's a
 separate user, it's not tied in to your regular account".

 I do remember the mention of the GitHub pull, I see benefits of a WPPD app
 to auth, we should find out which approach (between app and action) has
 the best route to a MVP, but also which one offers the best flexibility
 moving forward.

 With an action, it is much easier to open source it, and some may feel
 more comfortable with that than an application which they don't know the
 inner workings of 🤔
