[Foundation-l] SUL pilot and renaming issues

Out of curiousity, I went on a Google Translate assisted tour of Usurpation
policies.

DE, PL, and IT wikis appear to be modeled on EN, and prohibit usurpation if
the target account has any meaningful edit history.

AR and ZH wikis apparently allow usurpation of any inactive account that has
failed to respond after a 7 day notice period.

FR wiki was a vaguely defined rule allowing usurpation of accounts with only
a few or old contributions.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, none of these appear to allow a foreigner to take
over an actively used account name on the local wiki.
