How many editors will the wiki have? If it's not that many (less than
50?) how about adding a note to the "Log in / create account" page
inviting people to mail the admin to get logins?

We've done this on our wiki and have been spam-free for a couple of
years now. It's annoying for the admin for a couple of days as
existing users mail and ask, but after that it's very little work.
