I've played a bit with gis.stackexchange and think it's really a good idea to 
use it.
Instead of forum.qgis.org we could use 
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/qgis
as starting point.

IMHO there is no realistic solution with *one* login. Migrating forum and wiki 
would reduce logins by one or two (depending whether the user has an OpenID 
login). According to the docs, Joomla also supports LDAP logins 
(http://docs.joomla.org/LDAP), so OSGEO logins could used there, too.
