Just thought I'd announce this here, in case it's of use:
About an hour ago, I checked in a PHP script which checks the database for users who haven't made edits, and deletes them. It runs from the command line (phpShell seems fine with it, too) and works relatively quickly.
Thats cool. I have lots of unused acounts registered on my mediawiki installations. I think most of them are from spambots which never posted or got blocked by SpamBlacklist.
This probably makes sense on wikipedia too, as I guess there are a lot of spambot sleepers, which are now useful with the x%/can't edit blocks.
