Redditgifts looks like it is using OAuth2 to get an authenticated Reddit
username -- is this functionality that is available to other web
applications?  Is there any way to register for an OAuth client ID?

If not: is there any other way to conveniently get an authenticated Reddit
username without requiring the user to give me their username and password?
 (It's possible to use the private inbox RSS feed to get the username, but
it's awfully inconvenient for the user).

Not yet. RedditGifts is using an early alpha version. Stay tuned! We'll
announce to /r/redditdev once it's ready.

OAuth2 will be the best way to do this once we've finished releasing it for
general consumption. I'm afraid I don't have a good alternative to suggest
at the moment.
