I, too, want to clarify: you're proposing centralizing WMF identity to whatever extent it is not already centralized, and then using OpenID *within MWF*: so that all WMF sites and installed extensions can auth users against our own user database? Not authenticating users against external OID providers (which, as nearly as I can tell, largely amount to "I am whom I say I am"), or allowing external non-WMF sites to authenticate against our user database.
