As someone already said before, the real difficulty would be mapping
the Wiki user names to OSGeo LDAP accounts. When we looked at this
issue a few years ago, the task already seemed almost impossible to
accomplish because people happily tend to use obscure nicknames
wherever possible ....

The technical part is easy compared to that,

Cheers,
