OK! I see your point with "minuser"!

My thought was a little bit more complicated...I was thinking that it  
could be done (more or less) the same way you track deposits and  
notify the admin! For example a user is registered by default as a  
minuser. At the same time an e-mail is sent to the admin team and they  
take the proper actions about the user (e.g. delete, upgrade account  
etc.). After the user is "verified" he/she  can access the repository.

Maybe it's very complicated but as a first step what it could be done  
is to notify with an e-mail the admin team the time a user registers.

I am not so sure if I made myself clear but anyway I was thinking  
something like that. Is it possible?

Best,

G.
