You could write a special page extension accessible to logged-out
users, which would store their request in a database table, and send a
periodic email with a list of requests. You can then either manually
create these (sending passwords via email using the built-in support)
or perhaps write something fancier to facilitate one-click approval
and account creation.
A "poor man's" solution might be to allow anyone to register an
account, but limit editing to those in an "editor" group, which is
manually assigned to users on approval. This could be combined with
all or some of the above again (queue, reminders, automation).
