I *think* that the AccountManagerPlugin can deal with multiple auth 
sources. We could of course just ask current contributors to re-register 
if non committers are allowed accounts for the other issues.a.o 
trackers. That could be a bit of a pain for everyone though.

I would be surprised if we also had the ability to automatically provide 
a different set of permissions to committers at the moment though so for 
editing rights they would probably still have to request this through 
the bh-dev mailing list.
