I guess this has two levels - private on frontend and private on backend.
On frontend we can do that easily with some additional protection, although it would
probably mean a need to solve [1]. I suppose some closed groups might want to cooperate on
building something, so we either give them all the same password or allow copr owners
adding (inviting?) other users as mentioned in [1] - and making these coprs only
accessible to these.
I'm wondering how to make coprs private at backend...?
I've struggled with that, too. We'd need some sort of authenticator for
the backend - but the trick is this - it has to be an authenticator a user
can use with yum - otherwise getting to the repo for use will be pretty
difficult.
