Since we're presenting a unified system with Launchpad, Gerrit, and our
other tools, a user's first interaction with Gerrit may well be over
SSH.  This works because we are able to pre-populate Gerrit's database
using the LP account -> OpenID mapping.  Having an API call to do that
correctly would be very helpful and make this work for everyone.  Having
a user log in to Gerrit just to "register" when everything should be
automatic isn't a great UX.

So my strong preference would be a user->identifier API call.  If that's
unworkable, I believe we can use an identifier->user API call to
straighten out our database after the fact for the users who show up
with an otherwise unknown ID.  ("Gerrit doesn't work for you?  Wait 15
minutes and try again.")

  Lp login is broken after account merge

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.
