[GSoC 2026] Validating OAuth Integration Approach for email-ext

Hi,
@slide_o_mix @krisstern

I’ll be submitting my GSoC proposal for the OAuth SMTP project shortly.

I’ve aligned my design to integrate email-ext with the Jenkins OAuth ecosystem using oauth-credentials-plugin and provider plugins (like entra-oauth-plugin), keeping email-ext as a consumer of OAuth tokens.

I’ve also incorporated feedback regarding avoiding direct OAuth implementation and ensuring a modular design.

If there are any last-minute suggestions or concerns, I’d be happy to consider them before submission.

Thanks for your time!
