Heya Owen,

Quickly off the top of my head: I believe that one can reset the
OpenID association *if* an email address is linked to the account. I
think that's stored as a separate field in the backend of Askbot, but
don't quote me on that :P Mucking around in the GUI to the backend to
try to re-associate a new OpenID provider with an account is painful,
to say the least.

If there's no email association, once the OpenID provider goes away, I
don't believe there's any other mechanism for authentication a
particular account and an individual, so then it's just guesswork or
the do-we-know-this-contributor-already?-game.

Aside from eventual goals to have our own SSO provider, I just suggest
that people stick with OpenID sites they trust to remain afloat;
Google or UbuntuONE are both (probably) pretty safe bets.
