I think it would be nice to provide authentication ourselves.

If there's interest I'm happy to help duplicate the OpenID provider
setup which I run on my server onto a coreboot server.

Whether that happens or not, if anyone wants an OpenID from me to
work on coreboot then send me your username, output from
printf 'your password' | md5sum, your name, email and a URL where
you can add two <link> tags to <head> - that URL will be your OpenID
identity, only the login form is on my server. If you have no URL
then I'll provide one.

It might be possible for existing users to add a new OpenID identity
to their account themselves, but I'm not sure - Patrick might have to
help with that if you have an existing account and want to switch the
type of identity provider now.
