Coincidentally, I've been thinking about this issue recently. While thinking about the design for the Whois project I'm planning [1], one stumbling block I find is that there are many unsynchronised sources of (public) personal information in Debian, and most important, that there is not a single identity provider to sync them. Sounds like you may be working on something like that, and in that case I'd be interested in being involved. I think a service that provides a centralised database of identities, which allows each person to tailor how their identity is exposed, would be very helpful, and would allow to improve many other services that currently rely on incomplete identity information, specially for non-D[DM]s.
