The delay is only a part of the issue, the other part is the lack of feedback that would allow the user to know if her registration is still pending or has been rejected.

Oh, reject you get a mail. If its deleted, you don't.

I like the invitation from a DD idea, that would avoid the pending
approval phase for a new account, but I have no clue how to implement
it.
I would rather implement a dedicated UI on signup.salsa.d.o (gitlab-newuser) that would use GitLab's API to create and enable the new account. Or maybe try to have something more integrated into GitLab's registration UI, but I don't know if it's possible.

Sounds good, but just before you chose the wrong way: We dislike local
patches to gitlab (makes upgrading hell). So *either* this is a separate
thing just using APIs of gitlab *or* it has to come integrated via
upstream.
