[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Account deletion cool-down period (PR #4313)

[Anton Khorev]

> I still don't understand what actual problem would be caused by closing the account before the closed_at time of the last changeset.

This is to avoid the situation when a user is "done", but their changesets are not "done".

> Is there a moderation tool that waits until closed_at times have past and then fails when a user has been deleted?

Kind of. You don't really wait for close_time because it's not observable until the changeset is closed. But you may want to wait for the changeset to close because otherwise you wouldn't know if you've downloaded it fully.

It's not the biggest problem with self-deletions. I only use it here as a guide to figuring out what's the shortest deletion cooldown that still makes sense to have.
