If the new system is to be used for all deletions, then nothing. Under the 
present deletion system, quite a lot.

At present, revision of deleted pages are actually moved to a separate 
table, and it would be a lot of work to recover them simply for a 
contributions list.

If however Brion's new feature 
(<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bitfields_for_rev_deleted>) gets working, it 
would be feasible to do all deletions the same way, in which case those 
revisions would become accessible.
