The problem is, a "sign up to contribute" is a friction source. It will almost always leak my email. In contrast, I'm already logged in to Github.

What I'm hearing is, "Your Honor, I know that I shouldn't have blown through that stop sign, but hear me out: I wanted to. If I didn't, then I would have had to stop and wait for traffic to pass and respect other people's time. Does that strike you as reasonable? I think we can agree that it does not."
