They had this plan in place since earlier. They rolled it first to critical python libraries [1]. They even had agreement with google to provide free hardware security keys for free for those developers [2]

I've been trying to register because I just finished developing a command line tool that I thought others might want to use. Finding myself stymied here because registration has been closed since the 24th of November. Understandable if this a matter of people being still on vacation, or just back from ... but still, I am a bit frustrated.
