It's almost possible and it's a good idea.  The wiki already supports
OpenID.  The security questions some have over OpenID aren't terribly
severe for the Koha websites at present. 

The bugzilla OpenID extension (for bugs.koha.org) is under development
at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:OpenID_Auth_Plugin

The Plone OpenID extension (for the website) is
http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/openid-support/

In general, any service which can use HTTP authentication could be
secured with mod_auth_openid from
http://trac.butterfat.net/public/mod_auth_openid
which is packaged for debian as libapache2-mod-auth-openid
but I didn't find how bugzilla could use HTTP authentication.

Would that do it?
