13 years ago I would like to keep Observatory as generic as possible, so that similar organizations could use it without needing to remove anything (although they would want to add things like a logo). We'll have to have an rcos branch with those additions, so this sort of thing could go there.
Personally, I prefer not to use my RPI address whenever I am not required to because it's going to disappear in q few months, but we could have a patch to add that as an automatic registration option.
You may have already opt'ed against this for a good reason, but have you considered using CAS to handle user logins?
To my knowledge there aren't too many RCOS folks who don't have an RPI-account, and using consistent login information might make it easier to setup new accounts for those folks that will never do it themselves (you can lookup first and last name from ldap given an rcs id).
