To use accounts to hold a repository tree is moronic because it makes unsymmetric the relationship between the owner of the account that owns the repository tree and the other accounts that can do stuff with that repository tree.  So what other idiotic decisions did these morons make?

  I am totally confused. Why can I use my BarryFSmith account to admin repositories people make and push and pull repositories but suddenly when I want to have admin at the petsc level I need to use this other "openid" thing?????? Why, why why?
