Wait, a bureaucrat doesn't really need the user's approval to do the
name change...
On dewp, there is now a policy which allows bureaucrats to do forced
name changes for offending usernames ("User:XYZ_is_an_idiot"). I'm not
saying that "Ombudsman" is literally offending but it might be
considered if the user constantly refuses and if consensus is reached
that his username could be misleading.
