Specifically, you can start rousing our interest by writing up a short
document that (1) explains OpenID and OAuth (many of us barely
understand what it is), (2) explains why this would be an awesome
feature to have, and (3) sketches a design of how it might be
integrated into svn's codebase. (In particular, you'd want to look at
our auth architecture by reading include/svn_auth.h, and then looking
at some of the 'auth provider' modules in the libsvn_subr directory as
examples.)
