In Roller 4.0 we will have account activation via email, but I'm
guessing you want to do a "manual" review.

We don't have a way to configure that now, but IMO it's definitely
something that should be configurable.

You're going to have to make code changes if you want to implement it.
If you want to place restrictions on who can create new blogs, you
should probably start with the MainMenu and CreateWeblog actions and
corresponding JSP pages.
