It's been discussed on-wiki before and firmly rejected (too lazy to
dig it out). There's no way around needing a human pair of eyes to
look at what a new user is up to and judge how best to welcome them to
Wikipedia editing or advise them on problematic contributions.

Twinkle has a well thought out set of standard welcome templates built
in and if someone wanted to create a better intelligent welcomer user
script, I have some highly successful code at
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:F%C3%A6/vector.js> [under "function
myWelcome(mytype)"].
