@juliank, please provide any feedback you have; all I saw in the
original MR was a single comment.  The new MR has been open for 3 months
with no feedback at all, until just today.

Bug description:
  Software properties add-apt-repository currently does not support
  adding private PPAs.

  software-properties should connect to the API and observe that it gets
  permission denied trying to read the ppa. Then it can reconnect to the
  API asking for authentication, which will open a browser window where
  you can do the openid ritual. Then using that token it ought to be
  possible for it to get the password etc.
