Not automated yet, but there could be a "register" command allowing a user submits potential username/password. Then there would be optional acceptance tests and, if the tests pass, the new user is granted access. This is how registration works for all username/password sites I've used. The test would probably be "send us an email address, and we'll mail you an activation url to turn on your account". -- This email may be signed or encrypted with GPG (http://www.gnupg.org).
