Funny enough, I was going to suggest something like this as well.

Allowing users to _create_ an account, but mute that account so
that it either needs to be unlocked (request sent to a list or
via a tool) or, even better, have a moderation approach such as
you suggest.

Bonus points if the number of moderated actions can be configured,
so that it becomes a bit harder than just posting a single comment
somewhere.

Frédéric, I am not sure you still are available to help as you have
in the past?  Is this something you see realistically?
