Description
It would be nice to add additional fields to the user profile, e.g. twitter, github, API keys to 3rd-party services, etc.
I imagine these additional fields can be used by CKAN extensions to implement additional functionality - e.g. tweeting when a dataset is updated using the user's twitter account, rendering a CartoDB viz using their CartoDB account, etc.
If this is being done for User, might as well do it for Organizations as well.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the original CKAN extension issue linked in the request and the current CKAN Discussions guidance, then establish the intended scope for extra User and Organization fields and their extension use cases. The issue does not define acceptance criteria, so completion would require an agreed design before implementation.
