There is a ticket raised for what you ask about: https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=567

The SQL script on the wiki should be able to merge any two accounts, LDAP or OpenID, it doesn't care. Though after merging two LDAP accounts you may need to go and delete the old "gerrit:%s" account_external_id record.

Anyway, we really want this in the web UI so its either self-service for an OpenID user, or is available to a site administrator so they can help out a user who cannot do the merge on their own. Doing it by SQL update is not fun, and will become impossible when we are running on a NoSQL system.

The requested feature seems to be not implemented yet, however the quotation author mentions something about "script on the wiki", but I was unable to find it.. maybe someone else will have better luck.
