track time a new user account was requested

[sjanssen2]

Thinking about performance indicators, it would be nice to show an increase in validated users over time. Is there any information about when a user account was created or validated? If not, are there arguments against tracking this in the database?

I am not sure what your mechanism for validating a newly registered user is, I'd love to have a simple admin page with all registered but not validated accounts with a tickbox and one submit button which would than issue the validating action of all ticked users. I figure it would also be useful to sort this list according on registration date.
