We need to do this prior to Drupal6 installation on Drupal.org right? Which will probably happen in the not-too-distant future given our tendency to install an RC on Drupal.org.
If so, we should probably make some front page posts and perhaps create a way to email all of the groups.drupal.org users who are using @drupal.org usernames
Or will their g.d.o logins still work after disabling them?

need to have email address
If they have an email address associated on g.d.o, they can ask for a new password. Otherwise they will not be able to log in. Also Drupal.org is not going to be updated until project module is updated, and project module expects to rely on views, but views is not going to be released soon as far as I have heard for Drupal 6, so maybe this time is not too close.
not yet
there has been no decision to eliminate dist auth from drupal.org. i am expecting us to run the site_network module for a while. we will break a large number of logins when we stop running that. we need to give 4-6 months notice, IMO.
4-6 months means we start soon, right?
Ok, but if it's 4-6 months out then the time is near for us to do something in the near future.
Or do you prefer that we wait for d.o to make the announcement and then g.d.o will follow suit?

I'd like to actually do
I'd like to actually do something coherently planned beginning early in the new year, and yes giving 4-6 months from there.
Last I checked
Walkah owns making an openid plan for D6. He may very well be too busy with book writing, etc.
I believe we can actually transparently support something@drupal.org as an openid (just remove the password box), although we may want to move to a more normal openid input so that people get used to it elsewhere.
good idea
interesting idea to transparently support DA as an openID. just like AOL and wordpress.
i hope to do a lot of "identity on drupal.org" work in the next 6 months. i'm only slightly more available than james, though.
well....
walkah's busy as usual - but working on some OpenID planning ... book chapters are in, workshops are selling out... time to get crackin'.
I'm -1 for trying to transparently support @drupal.org - I think it doesn't help matters and creates a lot of confusion.... not to mention that it doesn't work for other drupal.module distauth that isn't @drupal.org .
I'm looking to use this as a chance for identity education ... i.e. warning people well in advanced that the information will expire, why and what to do about it. Perhaps a little module that forces invalid (i.e. email-less accounts) to go complete their information, etc.
Then there's the DrupalID plan - and I've been experimenting with and looking into OpenID 2.0 directed identity to really streamline this from a user-experience perspective.
..
Is there any documentation for the handbooks?
great
I just wanted to make sure someone was thinking/planning about this and that is clearly the case. Thanks.

Thinking yes
Well, there's definitely thinking....BUT....we need dedicated people to sign up and commit to making it happen, with a plan and a timeline. This ties into d.o. redesign, and potentially any other *.d.o hosted site.
As James points out, he's busy. So am I. So, on whose plate does this land?
