Correct.

In the current proposal, they're not. Seems like only the Subject
should be considered when determining the "identity of the user" --
knowing the issuer or the certificate fingerprint might be useful in
general, and perhaps they should be logged somewhere, but they're not
part of the user's identity.
If there were a feature that considered the issuer or serial number
when making role mappings, I think it'd be easier to make a case for
that. As of right now I don't think they should be incorporated into
this *particular* identifier.
