With respect, fic_annabel sounds like a community. I don't think having one user-journal be owned or partially owned by two accounts is desirable or necessary, especially if it complicates things. (No worries, the rest of my comment goes on to complicate things.)
6)The project SHOULD implement the ability to easily select a journal to post TO when updating. The project SHOULD implement the ability to easily choose a journal to past AS when commenting on a journal. [Note: These are only shoulds because we will almost certainly retain the account/journal conflation, and therefore in theory it's possible to log out and in again. I think the focus of this bug is really the management, and this posting interface is gravy, but it's important gravy]. If implemented, the commenting interface SHOULD restrict the choice to journal identities with commenting privileges, and MUST NOT allow journal identities to comment when they are not privileged to do so.
This is pretty major. Having to log out and back in to post/comment from the appropriate journal is, IMO, a Big Deal. I post and comment a LOT MORE than I manage settings - I'd rather have to log out and back in to manage settings and have posting/comments handled than vice versa.
Also, there's another scenario I don't see covered here: Annabel agrees to let her 14-year-old son have a journal, but only if she can monitor it. (Yes, he CAN create one without her monitoring it, but that will cost him his computer access for any purpose but homework, so he chooses to follow her rules and let her monitor.)
She wants to make dw_anna_son into a journal that can operate while logged in as itself, and when logged in as itself has no access to any of her associated journals, but which is still associated with dw_annabel and dw_annabel can view and possibly edit/delete posts and comments if she feels it's really necessary. (Maybe that would work for the fic situation, too. Maybe.)
Edited to add: Also, Annabel has a blog she maintains about sewing on another blogging platform. She wants to syndicate it on Dreamwidth, and manage that syndication. It'd be nice if she could - syndicate it, then tell Dreamwidth she's claiming the feed. Dreamwidth responds with a challenge phrase/word/passkey, which she posts to the sewing blog (making sure it appears in the feed for that entry), and when Dreamwidth sees that appear in the blog, it completes the association. She can now update the profile and even, if needed, change the feed url if she moves her blog.
Also, claiming open id accounts is presumably part of this? It should be possible to transition them and say "appear as" the main account. For example, I'd like everything from open id account kyrielle.livejournal.com to simply link to my account here. Including on future imports....
