As part of https://dev.launchpad.net/LEP/OpenIdRoadmap

We currently replicate several tables from LP to support our teams implementation. We should be able to use the LP API for this. A few considerations:

 * Some sites depend on the high availability of teams information and would be intolerant of LP downtime.
 * LP doesn't expose an immutable user identifier so would things get a bit sticky if the user changed their email *and* username?
 * Using the LP API could incur longer load times on SSO.
 * We'd need a user-friendly and unobtrusive method of attaching your LP account to your SSO account.
