There is "credential helper" series:
 * infrastructure and simple example implementations,
   like in-memory cache by Jeff King
 * credential helper for MacOS X keychain from Jay Soffian
 * credential helper for KDE (KWallet) from Lukas Sandström
 * simple credential helper for Windows by Erik Faye-Lund

In 'next' there is only sample implemetations (credentia-cache and
credential-store).  Some of the rest you can find in 'pu', others only
on git mailing list.

Currently there are no credentials helper for GNOME.  Perhaps you can
write one?
