Meaning you want to split the database into "needs svn" and "needs other stuff"?
Guess we could disable svn access, but keep the account, for anyone
who hasn't committed anything in couple of years.

Whenever people login to master, wikiweb or bugsweb (Jani updated the
authentication there few days ago), they automatically get "verified",
so we would only be eliminating people who really do not use their
account at all.
