Yes, there are some attempts at a trac specific solution, but I was
thinking of a generic one, e.g. one that feeds an LDAP server and then
trac/mediawiki/moin/apache/you_name_it can simply query the login
credentials. That way this solution will be usable by far more than a
trac instance.

The LDAP part is dealt with at CLI level. What is missing is the Web
interface. I envision it as such:

 o User gives in data required, this would be Name (but split in
   first/last), email & password. This is protected by a
   (re)captcha. There is already a lib for PHP for recaptcha.
 o The system stores a cookie and sends the authentication code to the
   email specified (just like mailman)
 o The user clicks on the web authentication URL and the web app calls
   a cli app that creates the account

In our case the cli app will be pushing the credential data to an LDAP
server, another implementation could use htdiegst files, /etc/passwd,
(l)useradd etc.

It is not much different from what mailman does other than adding a
captcha.
