what users are missing?

I am curious: what users are missing from a default
master.passwd that are 
mentioned in man pages or hardcoded in base software?

I see that ftp-proxy.c hardcodes username as
"proxy" as one example.

Any others?

this is probably a different request, but I would also like
to see a man 
page which describes the intended usage for all the users
and groups 
installed in base and so on. There is for example a group
'wsrc' which I 
believe is intended for staff managing /usr/src and
/usr/pkgsrc, but I'm 
not sure ...
