anybody stealing passwords for violating the DMCA. It's just crazy

No because the passwords will not be part of a DRM system.
If they're an admin, then the password protects access to a
copyrighted work, namely, the deleted articles.
They're deleted, but the editors still released their contributions under
the GFDL.
Doesn't matter if they're released under the GFDL, they're still
copyrighted, so they're still covered by the DMCA (at least until the
GFDL specifically waives the power to forbid circumvention, like the
GPLv3 is supposed to do).
We could hardly sue them for copying deleted copyvio
though. I mean, we
don't even have the rights to it. :)
The suit would be for circumventing a system which effectively
controls access to a copyrighted work. The copyrighted works would be
anything deleted, and anyone who has written such a work could
initiate the suit. So, depends on who the "we" is. I've had articles
deleted before. Don't know about you.
