As you may know there are the old (and still working) extensions 
feuser_admin and direct_mail_subscription (by Kasper Skårhøj) which are 
actually not very much more than configurations of the core library 
fe_adminLib.inc

This library is old and not maintained very actively anymore.

There is more and more a need for creating and editing all kinds of 
records. fe_users, tt_address, tt_news, and so on.

For TYPO3 4.5LTS we can't introduce new core functionality, but for 4.6 
we can.
I'd like to see a new library which is capable of:
- creating forms for any table (which has a TCA) for use in the frontend 
(a bit like TCEforms for the frontend)
- handling submissions
- confirmations, notifications, etc.
- validating with and without JavaScript (or support for JS validation 
scripts)
- supporting the form protection features of 4.5

Such a library can be part of 4.6 and available as an extension for 4.5.

To have a user registration extension we only need to have a 
configuration of this library with some specific extras, just like 
feuser_admin and direct_mail_subscription are for fe_adminLib.inc

First steps for me are:
- contact the author of the form project (for 4.6) to see if there is 
code that can be shared
- see if the rest of the core team is interested
