I already have python tracker account and a python wiki account which is already 2 too many. The latter was a pain because the site lost my registration and as of a year ago, the registration process was broken. I would much prefer just one python site registration.

And that registration should be using any OpenID, so that I don't need any new identities to participate on the Python sites: I can re-use existing identities.

I would make a bug report for that, but the Python bug tracker also requires yet-another-identity. It's lunacy.
