OpenID is indeed a solution to one of the problems (multiple bug reporting accounts). But that would only work if: 1. All bug trackers support OpenID 2. all currently using a bug tracker update to a version that uses OpenID. >From the reply's so far i see that fedora (or the ones that did respond) would like the idea but have a hard time believing that something this massive can be done. So. do you guys think i can start trying to contact the top 10 distributions and see if i can get them all together on one place to talk about it (just an irc channel somewhere) or would that be a waste of time to do?
