We could get a script included in maintenance or at least vagrant to
populate some abusefilters/etc. and then generate some fake
accounts/prefs/edits/log entries/etc. maybe with selenium? (and the
API. but the data won't be complete without edits made with an HTML
interface.)

See https://github.com/fzaninotto/Faker or one of the several variants
in other languages.
