If both are accessible I've seen an extension that allowed you to claim
your username. Saw it in action when Wowpedia forked from the Wikia Wowwiki
and they let people claim their old usernames with an edit (and code in
edit summary iirc) on the other wiki.

That would be up to the end project to decide, Although ideally they
shouldn't unless you can prove some how it was you otherwise there is
possible issues with mis-attribution if someone else managed to regain
the account.
