Thanks for the suggestion. I'm afraid the wiki is currently not email
enabled [1].

Let's try the "babysitting" option first. I've added a site-wide ACL
for EditorGroup [2]:

acl_rights_default = u"EditorGroup:read,write,delete,revert All:read"

This means that any member of EditorGroup can edit. Those people can
also grant membership to others. So all allowed users can allow new
users. I've added a few of the recently active people to the group.

I've purposely not added rsiddarth so that someone else can add him to
see if this system works.

I just added rsiddarth.

 

If it does, I'll announce the change on
-users and News and activate new account creation again. We'll need to
think of a nice way to handle requests, though.

So, everyone who wants edit rights, please raise your finger!
