Yeah wow! Even most "trusted" contributors shouldn't have this level of access. Is there really no way of scoping tokens with more granularity?

Nope. The best we could do was to create a separate service that creates Docker tokens (using "docker login") and exposes a secure API.

Obviously, GitHub needs to just fix this nonsense. But I interviewed a couple of "senior" engineers from GitHub, and I have zero hope of that happening soon.
