The way the import tool works is that it auto-creates accounts in the
target Gerrit system if they don't already exist. If the account has a
backing account already existing in the new backend LDAP then the
account is created as an enabled account, if it doesn't, then it is
created as a disabled account.

We want to reduce the problem set of likely responsive people so that we
can get the accounts linked back up to what they need to be must faster
as the intent would be to check to see who the owners of still open
changes are and if they got created as disabled accounts to reach out
and coordinate getting the LFID properly attached, which may mean
changing their Gerrit username or it may just mean that they need to
create their LFID with the same name and we re-enable their account.

As for the owner of a resurrected path, the owner may still be the same,
but whoever uploads / re-opens the change becomes the last submitter of
record.
