Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):

I would like to be able to installer the Auth_remoteuser extension using Composer 2. The maximum version of composer/installers that can be installed using "composer/installers": "~1.0.1"is 1.0.25, which only supports composer-plugin-api version 1. Both versions 1 and 2 of the composer plugin API are supported starting with composer/installers version 1.9.

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):

I tried to install the Auth_remoteuser extension using Composer 2.0 and ran into dependency errors.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):

• Updated dependency code (1.0.25 was released in 2016, 1.12 was released in 2021)
• Ability to install extension with the latest version of Composer
