I don't know if I'm missing the point here, but it sounds like OpenID is redundant. What we've got here is three subdomains with three logins/accounts when they could all be using one instead. bugtracker/trac are their own sites with their own thing going on and that's fine, unless you want fancy integration. Really I just think that *.e.org should have a single login (maybe managed/admind from users.e.org? :D), so that when i log into the wiki i don't have to log in again when i hit the forum or exchange. This isn't a lot of work - it's less! Just point at one user database.
