FWIW , I've always been advocating for using something like this
Notice that there are at least two OpenId plugins out there , so we'd
have to choose the one most suitable to this particular purpose ...
and check whether it behaves as expected if account manager plugin
will be available too .

Yes , as long as the profile created by user with the OpenId provider
contains such information (e-mail , name , ...) and user instructs
OpenId provider (via web form) to authorize target site and share such
data with i.a.o in this case . AFAICR , there's an option in the
plugin to not accept initial logins (i.e. sign up) if OpenId user
profile does not contain e-mail address .

I just do not know whether OpenId fits well into ASF policies .
