On the other hand, I created my account using OpenID years ago, and now
I always log in with a password.
Based on the numbers Donald gave, I don't think it's worth spending more
time investigating the demand. If there really is demand, people will
make it known on issues etc., and it could be considered for Warehouse
further down the line. For now, passwords are working, and there are
more important things to build and maintain.
