Many accounts needed for archlinux.org?

Hi,
don't know if this is the right place to bring this up, redirect me if not.

Apart from a generally good Arch Linux online appearance, what really got on my nerves is that I (so far) had to register 4 individual accounts (!) to take part in ArchLinux development.
Is it really needed to have a different registration for each, archlinux.org BUGS, archlinux.org WIKI, archlinux.org FORUM and archlinux.org AUR?
And if yes, couldn't there at least be some openID support?
Needing so many accounts really heightens the border to contributing here...

Besides that, thanks to everyone for ArchLinux and ArchLinux.org in general!

Yes the logins are different.

<unrelated rant>I am not a fan of openid personally. I think it is crap.</unrelated rant>

This has been discussed a few times in the past, but I don't remember what the outcome was. Nothing changed, so perhaps that was the outcome.

That said, I'm not a fan of openID, either.

I think the outcome was "Patches welcome" .

Correct. If instead you want to put your money where your mouth is, open a project on Arch Bounty (http://bounty.archlinux.ca/)... Requires another login!
