Let me answer them.

A. The design is to run this only for the initial setup, when no users
exist yet. The large majority of systems nowadays are single-user,
anyway...

B. Not planned, no. This is intended to configure a handful of
essential things, not an open-ended list of things you might want to
set up if happen to know about them. If twitter-esque web services
become supported by 'online accounts', that would make it possible for
gwibber to pick up the configuration from there.
