trac's wiki indeed has currently little support for
registration/authetication and anti-spam measures. But trac 0.10 is
almost done and there will be a couple of plugins helping out a bit
more.

We do use a pre 0.10 version for various reasons, but during
development the abi changes and the plugins don't much up well. And
for the stable trac version 0.9.x most of these plugins are not
available.

In short: For now we should use some workaround like creating accounts
manually, and once 0.10 and the plugins ship we can automate some
parts (until the spammers port auto-registration spam software for
trac's wiki ...).
