Yes, I think we want to give users the option to unwatch these pages if they
really want to.

I could see this as a sane default for all MediaWiki wikis, but I don't think
it's a must have. 

In the short term, I'd be satisfied with watching user/user talk pages to new
user watchlists on account creation. Most active editors who want to probably
already watch these pages, so running an extra maintenance script is probably
unnecessary.
