I don't think we have all that many. The wiki is up for a few years,
and we have <2700 accounts, I'd suspect most of them are valid accounts.

If spammers would create them automatically, we would have see 
a lot more I'd think.

Not sure -- if this is not integrated in the base version,
it will create problems every time we need to do an upgrade.
Moin is great, but they break things all the time between
versions, it's already a pain to do the upgrades...
