cleanupTitles.php should also fix deleted titles

Description

When a namespace is removed, cleanupTitles.php doesn't affect deleted pages which were deleted from that namespace, and then they become unaccessible and cause weird UI quirks (see e.g. T387805: Special:Undelete shows wrong permission error when viewing deleted contributions in an undefined namespace).

Not sure this task is a fit for Interfaces, but it's not obvious to me which team might be able to pick it up. Is there a particular team responsible for maintenance scripts?
