helpful to other programs that want to send email as well, and it
would help users who are not as patient as we are in trudging through
the multi-step process required.  For example, it's nice that KMail,
Apple's Mail.app, and so on have their own API keys instead of every
user of those programs having to generate their own.

There's a sendgmail tool in
https://github.com/google/gmail-oauth2-tools.  It requires generating
your own API key but I suppose someone could package it up with an API
key for their package if they wish to.

API keys and client secrets are supposed to be *secret*. You must not
generate *public* packages with them.

I don't know why people insist on using something that isn't supposed to
be used.

If you want to use a 2FA-enabled account with git, then generate an app
password, and use that.

Cheers.
