I agree an automated process is obviously better for Twitch and Staff so you don't have to curate a massive list of users and requests.

I do feel that just logging in to dev.twitch.tv is a little on the ”too easy” side of things.

I feel small tasks would be interesting to do.
1) create an app in the dashboard
2) create an extension
3) join the Twitch Dev discord and gain the developer role

You don't have to do all of these. The 3rd option leaves it more open as a community lead badge. This means the community can do the manual process TwitchDev are trying to avoid.
