Research direction

Start at the manage.py entry point and inspect existing management commands, then trace how unconfirmed accounts are currently identified and removed through the admin interface. Done means a scriptable command can bulk-remove those accounts safely, with behavior suitable for a scheduled cron job; no test file is named in the issue.

Description

enhancement

Currently one has to manually purge unconfirmed accounts from the admin interface time to time in an effort to trim spam accounts from the database. An interface to do this from manage.py would allow us to script this to run as a cron job and reduce the manual effort.
