As a response to this thread and a few others, I've created this page on the WM2012 wiki:
http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Visa_rejections
...in the hope that information gathered there will help future Wikimania organizers assists participants to get visas and clear the immigration process.

I wonder if there is a record somewhere that lists the prospective
attendees who didn’t attend Wikimania since they were denied Visa or on
any other grounds. Such a record would help us decide on future
Wikimania hosts with regards to easy of Visa acquaintance.

This is not needed. Visa problems were very well known when the decision has been made.
