Please note that the single user login account merging system is up and running in a live demo state since Wikimania at http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MergeAccount
One request: Please distinguish between accounts which have matching password/email and accounts that don't match but have no edits so will be merged anyway. The list of accounts it intends to merge with mine includes quite a few which I certainly didn't create, which could be rather confusing (well, to be honest, it *was* rather confusing, I thought it was a bug until I thought to check the contribs and saw they were blank).
Good thought! The merging system knows internally what reason was used to make the match, and it would indeed be helpful to display that to the user.
At the moment that's only stored internally.
