Comment 12 for bug 881019

It is on our todo list to use the team information from the OpenID
response directly in gerrit. Once we do that, I can stop having to do
the batch create of user accoutns in gerrit. However, that means a Java
patch to Gerrit core, so it's probably not going to get done tomorrow. :)

In terms of API additions, team info for a given OpenID identifier would
not be useful - what I need is to get via the API is the OpenID
identifier for a given user. If I could get that, I could stop
screen-scraping.

Thanks!
