The team edition currently only supports GitLab as an OAuth2 provider. This is very limiting.  
Gitea is a really great and popular open source, community supported Git server.  
I would love to see Mattermost support for using Gitea as an OAuth2 Provider.

See my proposal here:

> Currently, the team edition only supports GitLab as an OAuth2 source. GitLab is pretty heavyweight and many people prefer other software for a variety of reasons.

> Gitea...

Necrobumping this, gitea has willing developers and the issue has quite a few votes. Is it possible for a mattermost upstream developer to weigh in here?

I think a general support for Oauth2/Openid Connect would be even better, than having a custom integration into Gitea (don’t get me wrong I like gitea as well).

There is also an item on the feature proposal site for OpenID Connect: [https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/10197642-support-openid-connect](https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/10197642-support-openid-connect) (with more votes than the Gitea one)

I’d be far more in favor of OpenID connect.
