Even in the case of death you would only want to permanently disable the 
account where I'd say that that means:

        1) the account can not authenticate
        2) the account can not receive email notifications
        3) the account can not receive new assignments of bugs/tasks
        4) bugs that are not in a closed state should be flagged and
           reassigned to someone else.
        5) closed bugs should remain "owned" by the original account
           so that the historical records are correct.
