As sith OpenID, the key element to Persona is SSO: you can authenticate without needing to create / remember passwords for every site you visit. Whether a given site chooses to authroize an authenticated-but-otherwise-unknown user to do anything meaningful is logically distinct. +1 for supporting Persona as an alternative to OpenID on all *.python.org servers.
