Support for "organization" (shared access) accounts

[bd808]

It would be very nice if the MediaWiki user account (https://packagist.org/users/mediawiki/) allowed multiple individual users to be granted management rights rather than requiring shared password access. I'm thinking of something more like GitHub organizations (eg https://github.com/wikimedia/) than the current user account system. This might actually fit nicely with the functionality for namespace reservation requested in #163.

👍

It's a shame that a 1 year old issue hasn't even been addressed.

Then go address it.

[LeeSaferite]

Wow, I never thought of that.

But maybe, just maybe, I meant that no one from the core team even had the time to tag or close the issue as won't implement.

There you go.

+1 for this or supporting GitHub's organizations.

As for now, we have GitHub organization with two users but only one can use the organization vendor name.

@timiwahalahti add the second user as maintainer on one of the existing package using this vendor name, and they will be able to use it for other packages (this is how vendor name restrictions work)

[timiwahalahti]

@stof thanks for pointing that out! <3 I think that's enough and organization accounts in packagist isn't needed.

But this should be documented, because right now there really isn't any instructions about vendor name restrictions.

Organization support is still a good idea IMO.

I would like to do a POC of that when I'll get more time.
