If we can filter out users that have since been blocked, and perhaps  
have only contributed a certain number (e.g. only 1) of edits - it  
will help ensure we don't give spammers an osgeo id.

In my opinion, we still need an email confirmation process for  
generating osgeo user ids.  Does anyone know if this has been  
addressed yet?
