We need something to receive webhook POST requests from Blender ID, when a user changes their nickname. That should trigger an API request to Gitea to change their username there.

Originally created by Sybren.

Receive Blender ID webhook calls.
Gitea API call to find a user by their 'login name' (which is their numerical BID user ID) and 'source id' (database ID of the Blender ID auth source) (upstream PR #23376)
Gitea API call to alter a user's username (upstream WIP PR #22789)
Use those API calls to perform username changes, gracefully "Gitealizing" nicknames and ensuring uniqueness on the Gitea side.
Package everything nicely so that it can be deployed as a service somewhere.
Deploy it as a service somewhere.

The Git repository is at infrastructure/gitea-blenderid-webhook, issues are tracked in this (infrastructure/blender-projects-platform) repository.

The Gitea API call to find a user by their email address (upstream PR #22792) was superseeded by #23376 to make the connection between Blender ID and Gitea independent of user-changeable data.

There is a start on https://future.projects.blender.org/dr.sybren/gitea-blenderid-webhook, which I can migrate to projects.b.o next time I work on it.

The biggest issue now is that Gitea has no API calls to alter a user's username. Or to even find a user by email address or by BlenderID user ID.
