For example, this would be useful for stewards to handle VRT tickets, and also Trust and Safety in some cases (example: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=39093506).

Not sure if this is needed, both stewards and global renamers can do account vanishing when requested via https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalVanishRequest (or via app). And stewards can also manually vanish accounts by renaming to a random user name + locking the account (which doesn't remove the account's mail address, but if that's important to the user we could just direct them to request vanishing via the special page instead of VRT).

See also previous discussion at T368524#9951393 which pursues minimal difference of current and former (i.e. via VRT) account vanishing procedure.

This will also be useful if the user is blocked in some wiki, but local community/ArbCom/etc. still support a vanish for whatever reasons.
Comment Actions
Other usecases include to accept a vanish that has previously rejected by others, e.g. https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=61190737

Has this actually been requested by the people that would actually use this functionality, or is this a completely hypothetical use case?
