That wiki page also contains implementation descriptions, some I guess
matching your use case (e.g. protecting the IdP's RemoteUser handler
with an Apache httpd module that presents a choice of
Campus-SSO/Cosign plus "social" IdPs, instead of directly with
mod_cosign.
People using the mod_cosign in their webserver would continue to be
redirected to the cosign cgi (no SAML or Shibboleth involved), and
people accessing SAML-protected services and chosing your Shib IdP
will be give some kind of discovery service, including your Cosign
instance -- not sure this is what you wanted (I'd need to re-read,
probably several times).
And even if get this set up, problems will only begin there
(Resolving of "social" attributes from the IdP? Representation of
social identifiers to SPs? of attributes to SPs? LoA? etc.)
