And?

What are you wanting doing? A creation of a "stub" account in it's place so no
one else can register an account? Just in case it might be used for "bad
purposes"? (though, I have seen some 'crats do that on some wikis)

What if someone validly wants to use that username? They then have to request a
usurp?
