Gains:
User: One password for all, less security blurb
WebsiteOwner/Admin: The OpenID provider has to take care for password resets, so it does allow a way to recover a lost password without having to setup a MailStack / use GApps/..

I think something like oAuth would make more sense, but this would be a better option for anything with a community.

If you are a single Admin on your own site then I don't think OpenID or oAuth would be a benefit.

I am not clear as to what you mean by not having to set up a mail stack.

Chyrp already sends email and I dont think you can send email from GApps through an API, I could be wrong but you would have to provide your login details.

Correct me if I am wrong, but currently you need to setup mail on your own server in order to allow password recovery (which is not trivial, if you want to get your mails classified as "ham")

Usually the PHP mail function works fine as long as the sender email is legit.

When I tested this separately and forgetting to use a from address they were always spam, once I used my own email address they got through.

Gmail AFAIK only sends using IMAP or POP3
