Back on topic, I agree with Pierre (as I usually do in issues regarding privacy
and security).

AUR accounts should be deletable. Names can be reserved for a fixed
period (from 3 months to 1 year) to prevent confusion.

So yeah, someone who wants this now should write a patch. Here's a possible
plan:

1) Create a "disabled" table in the database (account ID, timestamp).
2) Add a disable button to the account page that inserts the user in the
   "disabled" table and removes him from the user table.
3) Have the account creation function check the "disabled" table when it checks
   for name availability.
4) Add something to purge records from "disabled" when the interval is up. Add
   it to the other housekeeping functions.

Bonus functionality:
*) provide interface to view and manage "disabled" table


Just some ideas.
