Why on earth does superchain faucet require github write access?

[JulianKingman]

Forgive me if this is spicy and in the wrong place, but I'm trying to get Optimism Sepolia to test deploying contracts and it's a frustrating experience, and each option I find requires increasingly extreme invasions of privacy, the last of which is the superchain dev console which requires me to link github (not just link, but allow to act on my behalf). What? Seriously? This is absurd! I just want to develop smart contracts!

Hey @JulianKingman, you could follow the process suggested in the documentation. Remember that, just as there are faucets for Mode, there are also faucets for other blockchains in the Superchain.
