Scenario

Currently there are already a few different use-cases where a user's stellar-account is required. The most obvious ones: quests and bounties. But there is more like tip-bot, quest-monitor-bot.

So each time a quest-related service system is established there is need to map users (either discord or github) to stellar accounts. The federation-address would look like <username>*quest.stellar.org then.

It would be nice to provide questers with federation addresses for two reasons

• central place where addresses could be looked up
• foster community feeling (is this paying into this?)

Bounty idea

The goal is to create come up with a bounty that addresses the scenario described above.

For example it could be to create a service that provides login via github or discord and allows users to add their stellar account. Said service could then act as source for a federation server (e.g. stellar's reference implementation) linked in https://quest.stellar.org/.well-known/stellar.toml.
