           Summary: Update fixUserRegistration.php to use newuserlog (where
                    available, prior to r12207), and gaussian estimates for
                    the fossils
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.15-svn

        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal

User's created before r12207 who have no edits until after r12207 are not
assigned guessed data for user.user_registration. This is not critical but
often is very confusing and sometimes wildly inaccurate. There are several
months worth of data on Wikimedia wikis in the new user log from the extension
(see r10573 ) that could populate this data.

Also, for users prior to even the extension, a gaussian curve could be plotted
from the data of available edits and log entries (all of which would be after
the creation date) and normalized to a curve or wave of user creation date/ID.

Awaiting WONTFIX!
