Many uses for having an OpenID provider on your wiki are to provide an authentication source that can be used for other sites. Often these may apply only to a subset of users, for which user groups are usually a pretty good way to handle it. A foreign site could, for instance, limit authentication to users on a given site in a given group. Using the OpenID Teams extension, the relying party can ask whether that group membership is valid at auth time, and get (at least part of) the list of available groups back. I implemented the relying party side for StatusNet's OpenID plugin a while back for integration with LaunchPad which uses this extension; it shouldn't be too hard in theory to stick in on the provider side here.
Yes, it will be resolved later (when other code issues are finally solved)
[Removing RESOLVED LATER as discussed in http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-November/064240.html . Reopening and setting priority to "Lowest". For future reference, please use either RESOLVED WONTFIX (for issues that will not be fixed), or simply set lowest priority. Thanks a lot!]
@ Brion Brion, you as the reporter, do you still really need this ? Currently, I cannot implement this due to lack of time and in the view of more important other issues. Please allow me to close this as Resolved Wontfix, but please reopen, if you need it. In this case, perhaps you can then add some new related thoughts, and ideas, suggestion for implementation.
T. Gries: If you are not *against* fixing this for technical etc. reasons (that's the meaning of WONTFIX), it would be better to keep it open and lowest priority.

I would very much like this. It doesn't necessarily need to be you that fixes it. Keeping it open allows other people to see it and pick it up if they want to tackle it.
