Description

Is there currently any way to add more package maintainers to luarocks.org site so that other people can manage uploaded modules?

It looks like API keys cannot be used because those seem to always impersonate my personal account and cannot be restricted to selected modules.

Only other option I found was linking more accounts but that seems to be similar to API keys and cannot be restricted to selected modules and instead also used to impersonate my personal account.

If there's currently no way to increase bus factor from 1 / single point of failure could it be considered as a new feature?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing how API keys and linked accounts currently authenticate to luarocks.org, then map how permissions could be limited to selected modules. Done should allow multiple maintainers to manage assigned modules without impersonating the package owner.
