This looks like it was influenced by the Hub, a Node Knockout project with a landing page created by high school students that's been picking up steam on Twitter since last weekend. http://nodeknockout.com/teams/team-name-goes-here Both landing pages seem nice, and looks like a great way to test the idea out!
We hadn't seen this at all, so wasn't part of the influence to be honest. Trying to check it out now, but it's hanging on signup :(

#115Earlier quoted context omitted.
I agree with this, but it's better than the alternative of signing up for a brand new username / password combo! What would you have in mind instead?
(Not parent or parent's parent) Email and password. It's not really better to be fair I can give a new service a disposable email address, I don't have a disposable Github/Facebook/Twitter/etc account. Not even a shred of a chance of me testing something if you're requesting anything other than the most basic of read-only permissions too
