https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Deceased_editors I have created a stub. It will
grow.
it is just time, if we don't start to focus on one page, we will have this discussion
again and again. Now we can use that talk page or show the page as target for future
discussion.
You can start for example to link local policies there, so people can start to get an idea
what could be used as a reference.

Yes, a user status/right “deceased" is IMHO important. It was also the reason why I
expected a SUL policy to be created soon or later. I tried two or three time to raise the
issue since 2016.
Now some projects block accounts, but it's not a standard process. It has to be fixed
soon or later. At the moment, a relative can reuse an old account in theory on another
platform, if they wish to do so. For example I find archive of images of my deceased
partner and despite the user being blocked on a local wikipedia, I start to upload them on
Commons in their name. Everybody has their way to cope with grief. Do we accept this or
not?

I do find this an excellent proposal.
Wouldn’t it be good to also implement a user status/right “deceased” to identify those
accounts?
This information could be shown to their user rights page e.g.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserRights/Geertivp?
One could get a list of volunteers that are no longer amongst us via
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers.
