Pardon me for jumping in, but this isn't really the *specific* use-case
that Richard was asking for: AFAICT, you are *not* the owner of package
"foo" (that is owned by "munichlinux"), and I doubt that bar.com has any
interest in PyPI (as that primarily seems to collect bar jokes, both
of the "A guy walks into a bar" kind, and of the lawyer kind)
Plus, there isn't really a PyPI listing of any user, nor is there much
private information that anybody would want to get on PyPI (and for what
little private information there is, I can't see any use case for getting
it).
Regards,
Martin
If i'm the owner of package foo, and website bar.com wants to modify
my PyPI listing, or get private information, or whatever OAuth could
be used to securely grant bar.com authorization to the foo resource.
And I wasn't aware of PyPI's OpenID support, but now that I know of
it I believe I have some ideas for taking advantage of it yes.

Could you explain what you mean by "people could give authorization to
specific packages"? Do you have a specific use-case in mind? Do you
have a site that intends to use PyPI's OpenID?
