Bug Description
At the moment (once the fix for bug 382678 has landed, anyway) we store the authentication credentials for bug trackers (specifically RT instances) in a config file. This doesn't scale very well, and whilst we'd prefer to be using something OAuth-like for authentication (as we do for the Trac and Bugzilla plugins), where we can't we should be storing authentication credentials in the BugTracker table.

Marking as low, since we don't have to care about scaling well just yet. Let's fix this when it starts becoming a real problem.
