To my knowledge, there is no way to "map" the accounts (I could be wrong). Though I did this same move (To LDAP) a few years back and I'll tell you what I did:
Setup the LDAP, get that working for your admin user. Then add Extension:RenameUser [1] . Then rename all your users from their old account names, to what it will be in LDAP (before they get to login). If you've got a lot of users, this will suck, but you only have to do it once.

We have been using mediawiki 1.12 in our organization for over a year now. Users create their account and starting using wiki. Now we are planning to switch to the LDAP/AD authentication method. Let's say once the users start using LDAP method, what happens to their old (local mediawiki) accounts? I am assuming that they just stay in the database.
My question:
How do we merge/map the stats of the correponding old user to their LDAP login stats.
For example, John Winslow's old (local mediawiki) username was 'johnwin' but his corresponding LDAP/AD username is 'johnw'.
I would like that stats of username 'johnwin' is merged/added with the new username 'johnw'.
