Hmm openid is orthongonal. As I understand things - its just a
machanism to not maintain yet-another-passwd-for-yet-another-site.

[i.e setup openid with any openid provider. and then user this
credential to login to accounts at 10 different sites. Obviously each
site will track you as a different user - so they like to give you a
user name].

But you can ignore this - and do a userid/passwd just for bitbucket.

The model is:

you have an 'account' - and can create repos there. Now you are the
owner of the repos.

Then you can give 'admin' privilidges to other 'account' users on any
given repo. And also create groups to give read/write permissions
etc..

So they have this distinction of 'owner' vs 'admin' [and I think only
owner can delete repos]
