The good news with getting everyone to support openid is that most
people use some version of one of a limited number of bug tracker
systems such as bugzilla or trac. A quick google shows there is
already some work being done on making bugzilla support openid. If a
few more trackers work on it then we will be well on our way towards
convincing individual projects to use it.
