Wouldn't the obvious thing in the Spanish Wikipedia be to differentiate between usuario and usuaria?
Indeed, that's the current implementation, which is now deployed. Here's an example female user's page on Spanish Wikipedia:
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuaria:Angela_tocua
And here's an example female user's page on German Wikipedia:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzerin:Nicola
So, should be supported everywhere now -- if your language isn't showing the correct term, please file a bug here:

against the "internationalization" component. Note, again, that the female term will only be shown for users who've publicly disclosed their gender through their user preferences.
