Okay so let's say he enables SUL for all "open" WMF sites, and then
one or more closed wikis re-opens due to renewed interest and happens
to contain a user with the same name as the SUL...
Would the SUL become incomplete and need to be redone in order to
collect the stray accounts or would the SUL assimilate them without
the user actively confirming that they are the same person?
