Giving this back to Paladox, as he did most of the actual work. I just did a little tweak to that.

This continuously causes issues with user scripts after any rename, I am asking someone from Security-Team to take time to review the patch provided.

Change 986666 had a related patch set uploaded (by SD0001; author: SD0001):
[mediawiki/core@master] Allow loading JS/CSS pages orphaned due to user renames
So, if a Toolforge account maintaining a script is adopted, the script is moved, BAM – all script users no longer can load it, until an interface-admin runs a bot task to replace the user name in the scripts loading it. (This is what just happened in ruwiki.)

Incidentally fixed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/Renameuser/+/214023, in 2021 ("This commit also switches i18n messages for warnings from being escaped to being parsed from wikitext.").

[mediawiki/extensions/CentralAuth@master] Add subtitle breadcrumb navigation to global rename request pages

Change 962100 merged by jenkins-bot:
[mediawiki/extensions/CentralAuth@master] SpecialGlobalRenameQueue: Swap 'mw-ui-button-group' nav to tabs/breadcrumbs
Grafana gives 0s for renameUser, not sure what's going on there.
We could probably allow loading orphaned javascript pages as long as they are redirects, those are already protected against editing.
Is this still relevant after rECAU867b0d779456: Make antispoof reject previously existing users.?
