No: Not even a bad way.

You could create a table to store it if you wish but no matter
what you do it will be the equivalent of 3x5 cards.

On the other side, it is matter of 5 minutes to setup a tiny ApEx
webpage on that table and suddenly it can be shared among coworkers...
(as opposite to 3x5 cards ;-)).
As matter of personal preferences, i like that
keep-all-you-need-in-the-database approach...

LOL

Right now the people responsible for adding new user accounts to the
system have to record this information via their processes. If this
is put into a text file or a table really depends on what your site
needs and who has the time to set it up.

Maybe someone should file an enhancement request to extend the Oracle
comment command to also cover USERs as well as tables and columns.

Or you could have a schema with nothing but tables named after
departments with columns named after users...
