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

[SomeoneElseOSM]

> Can you please give an example of a specific problem caused when a user is deleted before their final changeset closed time has passed.

Obviously I'm not Anton, but when a user deletes their account when they have open changesets, the changeset feed has one extra user name for them.  For example, a "select distinct id,user_id,user_name from osm_changeset where user_id = 20495462 order by id;" on a ChangesetMD database populated from the changeset feed returns:

         id     | user_id  |   user_name
     -----------+----------+----------------

      143036773 | 20495462 | NIneligi Elity
      143036781 | 20495462 | user_20495462
      143036796 | 20495462 | NIneligi Elity
      143036797 | 20495462 | user_20495462
      143036800 | 20495462 | NIneligi Elity

      143037002 | 20495462 | NIneligi Elity
      143037007 | 20495462 | NIneligi Elity
      143037008 | 20495462 | user_20495462
      143037010 | 20495462 | NIneligi Elity
     (44 rows)

This user was blocked while they were still active (https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/15241 ) and then deleted their account.

It's arguable how much _extra_ work this causes the DWG since vandals regularly change their names to evade detection before the final deletion (though not in this case) so the "final deleted name" is just one more.
