I poked around, but couldn't find any publicly-accessible OpenID
service provided by Fedora the OS (I didn't poke at Fedora Commons).

Lots of people don't trust any of those services. I'm hesitant to
require contributors to enter into a trust agreement with a 3rd party
such as Canonical or Google as a requirement to contribute to
LibreOffice development. If it's at all technically possible, I think
our developers should have a choice.

True (I'd regard that as an engineering flaw in the design of OpenID :-)

Insofar as we want to make it easier for people to use our bug tracker
(and other project resources), I see it as something of concern to
both our QA and Infra teams.

Yep. I'd like to avoid having Persona for Bugzilla + MozTrap and then
a separate OpenID for Gerrit, Ask, Redmine, TDF Wiki, etc.., but
perhaps 2 sets of logins are preferable to 8.


Best,
