[Telepathy] Sharing the Accounts SSO/UOA MC Plugin

[Martin Klapetek]

Hello,

I've just finished implementing proper support for Accounts SSO in KDE
Telepathy and I'd like to propose upstreaming the MC plugin implementing
the AccountStorageInterface using Ubuntu Online Accounts (which is based
on Accounts SSO project) into a standalone component which would be
properly shared between desktops.

I have a repo on github[1] which is a fork of Nemo Mobile's plugin (which is
originally based on Empathy's plugin). In there I've removed the auth
handler
as well as the Empathy Webcredentials Monitor thing and replaced all UOA
references to Accounts SSO references (it's what the project is after all).

I also backported all the changes from latest Empathy plus ported it away
from
deprecated method calls.

I'd like to propose moving this code to fd.o's git, where the rest of
Telepathy
repos are and then in coordination with distros ship this to users while
removing
the copy from Empathy.

Would you guys be in favor of such move? Could you also give it a look and
see
if it's missing anything for your adoption?

Additionally, we could also create a shared auth handler should there be an
interest as right now both ours and Empathy's are practically doing the same
thing getting the secrets out of Accounts SSO. Signon-ui would then be the
UI
for password prompts (which it already is in Ubuntu if I understand it
correctly).

Let me know what you think.
