It was used right after Wikivoyage joined Wikimedia to reconcile their
accounts with SUL. It was mostly luck that nothing bad happened, as
well as the fact Wikivoyage was pretty small (relatively speaking) so
it didn't run into the performance problems that exist. There was an
attempt during/after SUL finalization to create a global user merge
tool, but it never worked out in reality.

This seems appropriate, though as Marco mentioned, we should probably
just undeploy it from Wikimedia now (figuring out something about log
entries).
