While we're on the project of support, I've asked in the past about
turning the Symfony developer site into an OpenID provider.

This would have major benefits - the Symfony trac site itself wouldn't
require a separate login (it currently shares an account database but
you still have to log in twice), and third party sites could be
created to support Symfony plugins without the need for a completely
different set of user accounts. We'd love to do that for
pkContextCMSPlugin, for instance. Due to the nature of OpenID no one
would be required to share their Symfony password with a third-party
site.

The Symfony site could use this to become an OpenID provider (among
other implementations):

http://openidenabled.com/php-openid/

And the Symfony trac could allow authentication via that provider using this:

http://trac.sandbox.lt/auth/wiki/AuthOpenIdPlugin

Third party tracs could do the same with big benefits for the community.

OpenID would really open up the floodgates to wider community development.
