Usage:

$ ./scripts/synapse_review_recent_signups  --help
usage: synapse_review_recent_signups [-h] [-c CONFIG_FILE] [-s duration] [-e]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CONFIG_FILE, --config-path CONFIG_FILE
                        The config files for Synapse.
  -s duration, --since duration
                        Specify how far back to review user registrations for, defaults to 7d (i.e. 7 days).
  -e, --exclude-emails  Exclude users that have validated email addresses

I am think about what is the preferred way to do this action. Shell vs. admin API.
Perhaps it is a good idea to move part of the code to a handler to reuse the code for an admin API in the future.

this doesn't seem to have a default, and yet we assume it will exist, below.

It'll need to support split config files to work with the Debian packaging.

For bonus points, it could do with finding the right config file on Debian (this might be a matter of tweaking the defaults in the Debian packaging somehow)

Whoops (I cribbed it from the arguments for the main synapse process, but turns out we manually check in that case)

Yup, it does thanks to action="append" and find_config_files(..).

Good idea

Suggestion: Could we add an --interactive flag which allows admins to [y/n] their way through whether to deactivate users? Would probably do it in two phases: [y/n] everyone, then print out a list for review and final confirmation before actually deactivating?

omg this is a headf*ck. Can we do store_true and have include_users_with_email = not config_args.exclude_emails below?

@anon-20210701_101211-2:localhost:8800

Which allows easier filtering out of the context.

I've also added a -u/--only-users option to only print the user IDs.

We decided not to do this for now.

Will be good to show also number of total sent messages (and invites separately) in interval, or even better - grouped per day... Is it hard to add?

Also useful metric to identify spammers can be number of sent messages per room.

Bah, I did mean to change that to store_true. Manually tested and fixed

Those would be useful metrics, but I think those can be added as later PRs 🙂

Synapse 1.38.0rc1 (2021-07-06)
==============================

This release includes a database schema update which could result in elevated disk usage. See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade#upgrading-to-v1380) for more information.

Features
--------

- Implement refresh tokens as specified by [MSC2918](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2918). ([\#9450](#9450))
- Add support for evicting cache entries based on last access time. ([\#10205](#10205))
- Omit empty fields from the `/sync` response. Contributed by @deepbluev7. ([\#10214](#10214))
- Improve validation on federation `send_{join,leave,knock}` endpoints. ([\#10225](#10225), [\#10243](#10243))
- Add SSO `external_ids` to the Query User Account admin API. ([\#10261](#10261))
- Mark events received over federation which fail a spam check as "soft-failed". ([\#10263](#10263))
- Add metrics for new inbound federation staging area. ([\#10284](#10284))
- Add script to print information about recently registered users. ([\#10290](#10290))

Bugfixes
--------

- Fix a long-standing bug which meant that invite rejections and knocks were not sent out over federation in a timely manner. ([\#10223](#10223))
- Fix a bug introduced in v1.26.0 where only users who have set profile information could be deactivated with erasure enabled. ([\#10252](#10252))
- Fix a long-standing bug where Synapse would return errors after 2<sup>31</sup> events were handled by the server. ([\#10264](#10264), [\#10267](#10267), [\#10282](#10282), [\#10286](#10286), [\#10291](#10291), [\#10314](#10314), [\#10326](#10326))
- Fix the prometheus `synapse_federation_server_pdu_process_time` metric. Broke in v1.37.1. ([\#10279](#10279))
- Ensure that inbound events from federation that were being processed when Synapse was restarted get promptly processed on start up. ([\#10303](#10303))

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Move the upgrade notes to [docs/upgrade.md](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md) and convert them to markdown. ([\#10166](#10166))
- Choose Welcome & Overview as the default page for synapse documentation website. ([\#10242](#10242))
- Adjust the URL in the README.rst file to point to irc.libera.chat. ([\#10258](#10258))
- Fix homeserver config option name in presence router documentation. ([\#10288](#10288))
- Fix link pointing at the wrong section in the modules documentation page. ([\#10302](#10302))

Internal Changes
----------------

- Drop `Origin` and `Accept` from the value of the `Access-Control-Allow-Headers` response header. ([\#10114](#10114))
- Add type hints to the federation servlets. ([\#10213](#10213))
- Improve the reliability of auto-joining remote rooms. ([\#10237](#10237))
- Update the release script to use the semver terminology and determine the release branch based on the next version. ([\#10239](#10239))
- Fix type hints for computing auth events. ([\#10253](#10253))
- Improve the performance of the spaces summary endpoint by only recursing into spaces (and not rooms in general). ([\#10256](#10256))
- Move event authentication methods from `Auth` to `EventAuthHandler`. ([\#10268](#10268))
- Re-enable a SyTest after it has been fixed. ([\#10292](#10292))

- Fix the prometheus `synapse_federation_server_pdu_process_time` metric. Broke in v1.37.1. ([\#10279](matrix-org/synapse#10279))
- Ensure that inbound events from federation that were being processed when Synapse was restarted get promptly processed on start up. ([\#10303](matrix-org/synapse#10303))

Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Move the upgrade notes to [docs/upgrade.md](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/upgrade.md) and convert them to markdown. ([\#10166](matrix-org/synapse#10166))
- Choose Welcome & Overview as the default page for synapse documentation website. ([\#10242](matrix-org/synapse#10242))
- Adjust the URL in the README.rst file to point to irc.libera.chat. ([\#10258](matrix-org/synapse#10258))

- Fix link pointing at the wrong section in the modules documentation page. ([\#10302](matrix-org/synapse#10302))

Internal Changes
----------------

- Drop `Origin` and `Accept` from the value of the `Access-Control-Allow-Headers` response header. ([\#10114](matrix-org/synapse#10114))
- Add type hints to the federation servlets. ([\#10213](matrix-org/synapse#10213))
- Improve the reliability of auto-joining remote rooms. ([\#10237](matrix-org/synapse#10237))
