Reopening as the credential saved as secret of this repo to use the GHA from #2092 seems invalid: https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker/actions/runs/18280523475/job/52042361616

https://github.com/peter-evans/dockerhub-description?tab=readme-ov-file#action-inputs states the following for the password GHA Action input:

(required) Docker Hub password or Personal Access Token with read/write/delete scope.

We have to challenge the need of delete. Because no way we put an automation token for updating a readme with a delete permission 😱

Unfortunately that's the way this API has always been. We've had to do that for the other repositories, the token is restricted to just these repositories in GitHub.

Yes, but the danger is too high from my point of view. Even if it is also the case on others.
I vote for shortening the DockerHub definition and points it to the GitHub readme, so no need to automate anything.
