Description

[IndieAuth](https://indieauth.spec.indieweb.org/) is a flexible way to sign in to sites and services on the Web using your own personal Website. I'd like to gauge interest in contributing a patch for said support so I can use it in something like [Gitea](https://gitea.io) and other projects that are self-hosting friendly.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked IndieAuth specification and reviewing Goth's existing authentication package structure. The issue names no files or tests; progress would require an agreed support scope and a clear validation path for use with Gitea and other self-hosted projects.
