You always have insightful comments!

*nod*  I think it makes some degree of sense.  I was also talking with
Mike McGrath (one of the infrastructure/sysadmin) guys while at the
Summit about the account system.  He was interested into looking at
using LDAP and specifically, Fedora Directory Server to backend it and
try to get us to where we could have a more consistent login
infrastructure.  So talk with him.

I have a feeling that we'll need to continue requiring GPG-signed CLAs,
but we can run that up the legal flagpole to investigate.

I think this is a lot of the crux of the discussion points around all of
plone/f.r.c.  And I think part of this needs someone to step up and take
charge of the situation, including arm-twisting as necessary...

Volunteering to run with this? :)
