We have a request on the "Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations" page on the English Wikipedia where a user with over 121K edits wants to usurp the username "Feminist". The username "Feminist" has already been renamed; the only thing left to do now is to rename "SSTflyer" to "Feminist". Their sheer edit count, however, necessitates sysadmin/developer intervention.

That is handled at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Username_changes and not in Phabricator, I think. :)
Please request this on meta.
@Aklapper: This is a request for a sysadmin to supervise the rename due to its size. Maybe it needs a Wikimedia-Site-requests tag too or something.
Seems more like a task for a database-involving project, thus tentatively added DBA under the assumption that supervising database actions happens there.
No, it doesn't (generally) need DBAs. It'll get taken care of when the deploy freeze is over/I'm back from vacation.
Note on User:Feminist: [[Special:CentralAuth/Feminist|Special:CentralAuth]] logs seem to suggest the account was registered just 5 days ago [Registered: 09:39, January 13, 2017 (5 days ago)]. Usurpation portion of request performed roughly 21 days ago. Seeking clarification prior to continuing onto second part of the request.
Task stalled until closure on discussion at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations#SSTflyer_.E2.86.92_Feminist.
Reopening request. Xeno approves of re-usurpation (part 1) and part 2 completion alongside sysadmin. Working to coordinate the renaming process between a renamer and a sysadmin.
FYI I'm here but holding this for a while, IRC (operations channel) is a bit busy with labs NFS issues and service deployments and other things
