I'm hearing reports of people having difficulty obtaining accounts on the Haskell wiki, (...)
Maybe OpenID could help with spam problems without the need for manual intervention:
I doubt it - I know LiveJournal has a problem with spambots gaining free accounts, and it provides OpenID. They may not be exploited for the OpenID account yet, but I imagine they will be sooner rather than later - OpenID is more useful to tie in people's existing identities.
I would sugest that Haskell wiki only accepts OpenIDs, without providing then itself. So spammers would have to use domains, and I (naively?) believe those are costly to obtain and easy to block.
