The user Mlpearc wants to be renamed to "FlightTime" per this diff. However, they have over 70,000 edits, and a sysadmin is needed to supervise their rename. This task is, therefore, a request for sysadmin attention.
The reason for the request can be per [[w:en:Special:Diff/781507457|user request]].
Thanks.

This is similar to "Candlewicke to CLWE" and "SSTflyer to Feminist". By the way, Feminist was also previously known as "Sovereign Sentinel".
@MarcoAurelio thanks for the heads up!. We will make sure we have no schema maintenance scheduled for when you decide to run it. Ping any of us on IRC before you go ahead, so we can keep an eye on the DBs.
Same recommendations apply than T167031#3315249 plus the additional of not making both at the same time.

Global rename is now done. Thanks to @Marostegui for his help during the rename for supervising the DBs.
