This didn't seem to fit the trac-ticket system.
Some question\Ideas
Following on member(s) that may have left the project and\or sub-group(s).
I am getting delivery failure on *@fp.o email aliases. Is that a good indicator of someone having left the fp.o? How can it be made certain\ is certainty possible?
If so, are they auto removed from fp.o Old wiki user pages? Content can be cleared, can old stuff be deleted? There appears to be many such "needs love" pages. Came across: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DeleteBatch

It only indicates that the email the fp.o alias points to is not valid the question being is this a definite state or just a hick up of the mail server.
How can it be made certain\ is certainty possible?
The only way would be to manage to contact the person by another way (other email or other mean) to ask them, but that's not an easy thing to do. The account can then be marked as inactive in FAS (we do not delete accounts).
If so, are they auto removed from fp.o Old wiki user pages? Content can be cleared, can old stuff be deleted?
There is no automated way to do them and to there are a number of case where I am not sure we would like to. I do not see the harm in keeping old user pages. Outdated content can be updated/adjusted as needed, being old isn't a valid reason to delete a page though (imho).
Just my thoughts :)

Do I open ticket on track to get marked inactive as necessary. with those who would be in freemedia only? and who *@.some.isp bounce back to me,
<snip_from_bounce> The error that the other server returned was: 550 "Unknown User" </snip>

By who? Are pages delegated to the sub-projects that create them.

It is if none steps up to look after it, Lawn vs jungle.
Currently I have been going through and making sure pages are categorized correctly, and I agree userpages don't really cause an issue with the search to a noticeable extent. My issue with deleting a userpage is what if that user comes back to Fedora, then he would not be happy if we deleted the page he took time to create. If a user wants his page gone he can add {{delete}} to it and it will flag that page in the please delete category. I have come across a few userpages that have had this tag, so that is how I have been handling userpages.
The same thing with old pages, if they have outdated information I tag them in the category of needs some love, so people who want to wiki garden can help give some life to those pages. We have quite a few wiki gardeners who enjoy helping out and I am glad to offer assistance to anyone who needs help with that task.
