That's not actually true, btw:

- identity.kde.org is us
- ballot (the e.v. voting software) is us
- commits.kde.org is us
- our commit hooks are us
- ditto the anongit mirroring system
- our forums are heavily customized
- wikis too
- ...

We actually do a lot of our own infra.

Making the identity.kde.org LDAP available for that in some
fashion has been discussed in the past, yeah.
