mageia 2rc include gdm 3.4.1. 
This new version packaged by mageia doesn't correct the problem in spite of
the changelog of gnome.org. It seems that a new key 'disable-user-list' was introduced in the schemas of org.gnome.login-screen to work around the problem.
My english is so bad that maybe i do not well understand !

But if i do: gsettings get org.gnome.login-screen disable-user-list give 'true' for the gdm account and gdm still display all the account over 500 during the greeter display.

Please, do you confirm the problem is a gnome.org problem or something due to
the mageia build ?

Thank you

You are right. Here is the only link i found is:
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/gdm/3.4/gdm-3.4.1.news

At a first look, i thought the bug relative to user_list was closed.

Sorry , to waste your time.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,

Update 

https://help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/user-list.html.en

    Create the gdm profile if it does not already exist:
    /etc/dconf/profile/gdm

    user-db:user
    system-db:gdm

    gdm is the name of a dconf database.

    Create a gdm keyfile for machine-wide settings in /etc/dconf/db/gdm./00-login-screen:

    [org/gnome/login-screen]
    # Do not show the user list
    disable-user-list=true

    Update the system databases:

    # dconf update

Works in Mageia 5

Close?
