 The `wp_signups` database table has a few things not going for it:

 * No `_Query` class
 * No `WP_Signup` object class
 * No user interface for moderating them
 * No query or object caching
 * A `meta` database column vs. a `wp_signupmeta` database table
 * `wp-signup.php` is a pretty gnarly file, as is `wp-activate.php`

 A lack of support for this multisite feature means no one is very likely
 to use it. Most membership plugins (BuddyPress included) generally wrap
 around it, but also need to write a bunch of additional code to interface
 with what's here now.

 I took a stab at this last week, and made this plugin for a proof-of-
 concept:

 * https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-user-signups
 * https://github.com/stuttter/wp-user-signups

 Pretty much all of the pieces are there, minus the meta-data table (which
 would not be very hard at all.)
