In fact, as a seldom code contributor but long time user and commenter on trac tickets, if I had to vote, I would actually -1 on the basis of not wanting to give that blessing to GitHub on an exclusive basis. If were are considering other OAuth providers, "now is better than ever" lest GitHub take over as a de facto standard that may never be overcome. Most importantly, how would Django as a project benefit from this choice other than reducing minimal spam? A better solution would be to strengthen what it means to have an identity on djangoproject.com. Rather than restricting user actions to Trac, we could motivate users to create something like a Django profile which would be used for Trac (among may other uses) and could later be linked to any OAuth providers, including but not limited to GitHub. TL;DR Identity on djangoproject.com, Authentication linked to multiple OAuth, Authorization in Trac. I hope that idea makes sense. I may be just babbling nonsense.
