[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] User account self-deletion allows bad actors to delete and recreate the same account name to "lose" changeset discussion and block history (Issue #4018)

[Tom Hughes]

I really don't think that's going to work - we remove the names because they often contain personal data so we don't really have any option.

Besides which it will just leads to loads of people asking why they can't have a name which appears to be unused and anything which gives me more support mails to answer is definitely not on.
