Honestly, why do we need registered users? What purpose does it serve?

I think that many, if not most, of the news items were posted by people
whop only posted one or two items . It is not worth "registrating" for
one item, and I'm not so sure that even for two.

BTW: it would have been nice if the moderation posts would include a
direct link to the moderation page (a-la-mailman). This would allow me
to moderate directly from my mail client (the site is lynx-browsable, I
hope)

Stay away from it, unless you want to maintain it yourself.

If you're looking for reasons, ask the people of What's Up why are they
busy preparing a replacement for their DotKuf site.

BTW: GeekLog is another PHP-Nuke decendent. Here's one Hebrew version: 

  http://www.1212.co.il/linux_org_il/public_html/

Oh, and if I mention existing alternatives: Ilya's static page.

  http://furr.shiny.co.il/linux.org.il/

If we assume that this site provides resources, but not breaking news.
