Not currently but I think this would make a nice API feature, I've had
the same wish when organising mapping parties in the past.

We're using MySQL 5.*, so the current lat, lon field in the user table
could be migrated to a geometry point column to allow bbox queries of
users.

David: if there was an API call to get all the users from a bbox,
would it solve the problem?
