The OTRS wiki page does not contain more information than Comment #4.
Sorry for the confusion – when I opened this bug almost two years ago, I
somehow thought that most Devs would have access to the OTRS wiki.

Sorry, but how has it "all been dealt with"? A proper fix ("login & log local
account creation only on write actions such as edits") has yet to be written.
Simply disabling the log has severe consequences for keeping out abusive
usernames. I've asked for the opinion of other admins on German Wikipedia and
they affirm it hinders their efforts and that there are already trolls taking
advantage of the log being removed.
(Trolls create abusive usernames in small WMF wikis (low profile) and then they
automatically create accounts on many popular wikis without there being any
methods to trace them)
