No problem.

So the user user applies to get editor privs through MoinMoin and some
person/people can acknowledge the request and get them access?

Should we set up the notifications to go to the devel list? That's
where the project "admins" hang out.

That works for me. Is there a way to see the most recent editor on all
the wiki pages. That may be a good initial list of users to transfer.
As I assume the most recent editor would be the person who reverted
any spam, or the last non-spam editor.

Alternatively if we have last login time, delete all users
who have not logged in in the past two years?

I agree. Even though I think I purged a bunch of spammers a few years
ago, there are probably more in the list.

Have a great week and thanks again for working on this.

BTW do you have the info you need to move DNS records for the host
(and get an SSL cert)?
