Authenticating Bonfire users from other sources

If it's not the time to ask this I'm sorry and please simply dismiss this post.

Imagine that you already have a community working on a CMS or LMS (like Moodle, Wordpress, Discourse, Drupal, etc.) with a bunch of users and a way to manage them (create, give roles/permissions, delete, etc.).

Is it, now or planned in a near future, a way to somehow connect that with a Bonfire instance so we don't need to have double users, one in each platform? Or -in the other way- can Bonfire provide this authentication? One platform to rule them all, one platform to find them, one platform to bring them all and in the Fediverse light bask them? 🤣

In brief: can Bonfire accept/provide identification by/to other sources?

Thanks a lot, and I hope this discussion opens some possibilities. :)
