I'm not going to read that entire thread, but I guess the gist is
someone's asking if providing access to the keyring without prompting
for the password.  Here's the official response regarding the
gnome-keyring security philosophy:

In short: lock your screen if you walk away and use the guest session
if someone asks to use your computer.

Cheers,
