Comment 14 for bug 1169

I'd like to bump this again and get it up the tree for consideration.

As a developer of a third party project, I intend to use OpenID as the logon mechanism - since it means I don't have to track passwords. It is pretty straightforward in Rails. However if I use launchpad bug tracker then that is another logon that my users need before they can tell me what the problem is. it would be really useful to unify the two.

Something simple like associating an OpenId with an account would do, as long as the launchpad URLS responded correctly to an option like ?openid_url=http://openid.provider and skipped the login procedure.
