because that would mean that the php-script has root access to the ldap database, which is equivalent to be root on all debian.org-machines. Also, the nm.d.o-pages don't have all necessary information for the account. Actually creating the account in the LDAP is BTW not taking as much time as you might consider, it is just that only very few persons have the privilege to change such information in the ldap database for obvious reasons.
