The Mother May I project aims at reducing the number of bogus account requests a website receives.
Most Drupal sites that allow users to self-register are plagued by account requests from people and bots (e.g. XRumer) that register to be able to use the site for spamming. Even if posts are moderated, just dealing with such request may be a burden to the site administrator.
It is primarily useful to sites with a limited target audience (such as a company extranet, a NGO or a housing society). It lets the site administrator define a site-specific secret word. Anyone requesting an account must enter the secret word to enter into the account creation process.
