Excessive permissions requested by IssueVote
Wanted to vote some, but IV requests read and write to all my Github data. Definitely a deal breaker, so I abandoned.
Unfortunately, Github doesn't provide more granular permissions. "public_repo" is the least permissions the oauth app can ask for in order to get persmission to add reactions to an Issue. I'd love to have a permission for just issues, or even better, just reactions on issue comments. (For reference, the available permission scopes are listed at https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/scopes-for-oauth-apps/ )
However, you can manually vote for issues without the app! Just go to any issue, and add a thumbs up reaction to the main comment of the issue. The "vote count" will go up :)
I wasn't aware of that workaround. Thanks @TuxPaper.
Not familiar with what IV's code needs to do and if a reduced scope would do. Not even found a home page to report the issue. Leaving open just in case you'd like to forward this to the authors. It's okay for me.
