On one Moin deployment, I use each user's e-mail address as their username. If this doesn't work with ACLs for some reason, I'd be interested in making a patch that makes it work.

In effect, you can delegate the authentication to Apache, use GivenAuth to access the REMOTE_USER details (as Thomas pointed out), and then you're mostly avoiding any registration process within Moin.
