I'm right now using an old iPad with FireFox looking at the
recent upstream error about fopen("tmp/pkg_add_cache","w")
still being in use in recent pkg-devel update. I did not
log into my github account to do this. (Line 1177 of
pkg_add.c .) The "Sign in" button still says that.
For reference, I navigated to what ended up
being:
github.com/freebsd/pkg/blob/main/libpkg/pkg_add.c
This is in the USA, in case that matters.
May be you mean something more specific, but, as far as I
can tell, your claim above is just false here.

I've never had troubles that would lead me to such
a statement --or much of any note. (I do have an
account --and have had it for a long time, so,
likely not matching your specification of "new
subscribers" at this point. I'm not going to create
another account to check a better matching context.)

I've never had troubles with my issue submittals on
github, including the one today about the bug
referenced above. (Not that I submit such very often.)
The submittal shows up just fine (#2450).
