Description
What would you like to be added:
I would like to add Google OAuth support to krel announce with a limited scope that allowed krel to "send emails on your behalf." The code would issue a token valid for 1h with the intention that is refreshed upon each execution.
I created a demo here: https://github.com/jimangel/oauth-gmail-test
Slack convo about this demo: https://kubernetes.slack.com/archives/CJH2GBF7Y/p1699902725642849
It seems like it would work, I would just need some help figuring out the best way to add it into the krel codebase.
Why is this needed:
Currently krel announce has options to send post-release announce emails via SendGrid's API (or HTML output for copy / pasting). SendGrid, to combat spam (and possibly other reasons), has become increasingly unreliable:
@xmudrii has opened #3175 to explore alternatives and I'm reluctant to combine this issue with it as it only solves for senders that use gmail. There might be a more robust, bulk-sender-friendly, option that can be used by the entire release management team.
