However, it currently doesn't seem to have the political support necessary to get it merged. But perhaps if enough people express their interest this might change. It currently only supports OpenID, so it doesn't work with Twitter or Facebook, as they have implemented their own login protocol, however it does work with things like gmail and yahoo mail and any other provider supporting OpenID, which is quite a number. It would be possible to support login via twitter as well, should the OpenID branch ever get deployed, as it uses an authentication based on OAuth, which shouldn't be too difficult to implement. Facebook is imho less likely, as as far as I know, it uses a proprietary protocol and so I would be less enthused to support that.
