Let's consider
bugzilla.wikimedia.org, for

possible to use your Wikimedia credentials rather than a username/password

This, alone, makes the case for me. There is support for OpenID:
https://github.com/jalcine/bugzilla-openid.
Now, if we could make it possible to edit comments in Bugzilla...
I've been thinking about this issue quite a bit since there's a possibility
we could use OpenID for Gerrit.
With Gerrit, there's a very manual conversion cost when switching authn/
authz mechanisms...at least if people want to keep their existing account
(with its settings, contribs, etc).
I'm curious if other tools like BZ have similar switching costs.
