I think only the actual wiki editors can answer this. I imagine that the 
dashboard features would be nice to have.

I think e-mail is enabled on the python.org system, so they should be able to 
reset their passwords.

I've now made some support for comments, including adding new ones. It might 
be wise to add textcha integration for this, though, but I already support 
ACLs and thus don't allow the posting of comments on pages where a user cannot 
write to that page, even though the comments are actually subpages.

I don't think making user pages would be too difficult, but populating them 
with fancy features would probably end up happening later.
