This isn't really a bug in Launchpad or SSO. While we'll hopefully
eventually add facilities to manage OpenID identifier associations, the
multiple associations are only a problem when the consumer is buggy! Any
changes to Launchpad would simply serve to work around the bugs in the
consumers. The only consumers I know to be buggy in this respect are
Summit and OpenStack's gerrit -- they're trying to do the mapping the
wrong way.

Steve, you've somehow created four separate SSO accounts, all associated
with your Launchpad account. If you file a support request at
https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion we can get some of
them cleaned up to work around the Summit incompatibility.

Bug description:
  This looks like  bug 644824 (reopned?), though may also be bug 676964.
  In either case, openid are not matched correctly when the user logins
  in through SSO. Since both of these bugs were reported, the
  openididentifier table was created to store multiple ids for a user.
  Merge may not be dealing with the table correctly.

  There have also been many cases where the email address table (used to
  lookup Persons) has a different account from the account in the person
  table. This should be an impossibility. Maybe there should be a
  constraint, or column should be dropped from person, (or less likely
  emailaddress).

  Notes from gmb, 2011-11-24:

   - Dropping account from Person is prohibitively complex (see comments).
   - Running the following query:
         SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Person, EmailAddress WHERE
             EmailAddress.person = Person.id AND
             EmailAddress.account <> Person.account;
     tells us that there are currently two Persons in the production DB whose Person.account
     and EmailAddress.account don't match.

  From the original question:
  One of our guys just recently merged two launchpad acounts into the account nati-ueno. The merge didn't go all the way through - there are times when the old openid gets referenced.

  X6dGn6P is the correct one.
