when closing a project, the home wiki value of sul accounts should also be changed to another wiki. There are already many "homeless" users in db.
Haven't we only been disabling edits on closed wikis lately compared to actually disabling them so this shouldn't really be a issue?
Actually, it is a problem. I am missing a home wiki; [[m:Special:CentralAuth/MC10|Special:CentralAuth]] and the [http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=MC10 SUL utility] both don't give me a home wiki.
My mistake that the links don't work; the relevant links are: * http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/MC10 * http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=MC10

MC10 was fixed by deleting and remerging the global account (http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=globalauth&user=J.delanoy&page=User%3AMC10%40global)
Yes, that did work, but it's pretty annoying to do that. Besides, the stewards cannot remerge the global accounts, even after deleting it; the user would have to, and may not do so, allowing other users to claim the user's account name on different wikis. This should still be implemented.
This is exactly what deleting and remerging is for, this affects so few users and has so little effects even on them that it's not worth inventing an ad hoc solution.
