1) 100 days seems a little short (even for a president ;-) ). Six months, or even a year, of inactivity might be better.
At the one year and older mark, there are just under 13,000 inactive accounts. It's easy enough to set the account age for removal.
This sounds like something a bot should do: run monthly, sending email, "Your account has been inactive for ... and will be removed in 30 days, unless you contact [link], or edit something." It would also do something about 'inactive for ...+30', like create a deletion list.
I will look into this for the MediaWiki 1.15 upgrade I hope to get started soon. There are a few other new user type scripts that can possibly be implemented now including one that does a nice welcome email to a newly registered user (where we could welcome the new users, and put in some interesting/useful info such as how to enable the WYSIWYG editor).
2) Those peculiar accounts do sound suspicious. I wonder about the creation dates, and the email addresses. If they're for the same ISP, a note to the admins there might be in order. If they don't have email addresses, trash them.
I haven't looked that closely at the individual accounts - being that there are 22,000 of them :-)
