Central Auth has been around for about 5 years now and we still lack a API to interact with it. There is no blocking/unblocking/locking/unlocking ability at all. see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23821 who do I need to bribe/torture/put a fire underneath in order to get basic access to said tools?

You know the rules: If you suggest it and no one else volunteers, then you are now the primary person in charge of getting it done...

We need some sort of think tank (well some thing with a better name) non-profit that people donate to. To have it hire people to crank out MediaWiki features outside of just the stuff WMF wants.
I'd love to spend 80% of my time cranking out fringe MediaWiki features where what the community wants and what my specialties are intersect.
