Hmm, this seems to request too much authorization, though.

    Repositories
    Public only
    This application will be able to read and write all public repo
    data. This includes the following:

    Code
    Issues
    Pull requests
    Wikis
    Settings
    Webhooks and services
    Deploy keys

I really wanted to try this out, but I do not think, as the owner of a reasonably important repository, it would be irresponsible for me to grant write access to Code or Settings for my primary GitHub account. Also I think you reject an account that is too young (I found out about submitGit via your comment on a pull request to git/git and read its source before reading your message I am responding to, and that was the impression I got from the recent log messages there), so I cannot create and try with a throw-away account, either.

That would mean that I cannot join the fun X-<.
