To satisfy Applebaum's request, there needs to be

Blinded, costly-to-create handles (minted by Wikipedia itself) are one
possible way to achieve that; if there are concrete reasons why that
will not work for Wikipedia, the people designing these schemes would
like to know about them.
This should be possible, according to
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/NOP,
which Nemo also posted. The user sends an email to the stewards (using tor
to access email service of their choice). Account is created, and user can
edit Wikimedia wikis. Or is there still a step that is missing?
