I understand it’s really late

This is not needed. Because we lift IP not an account.

Technically. But we do ask people for this information because we want know who is responsible for the cause of the lift. All requests for lifting IP cap should contain information about the event itself such as title and responsible person. We can contact them if there will be some problem with the deployment of the patch (deployment may be unsuccessful) or any other problem they should know about. Usually we treat requestor as responsible person but this may be not true sometime.

Thanks for the ping. I've granted account creator permission to two users at mrwiki. If that is no longer required due to this, please let me know so I can remove their permissions; although I set them to expire on 2018-01-14.
