Maybe base it on the GNOME project's Gitlab script?  As a one-off
contributor to upstream GNOME (three years ago, I think) I just received
a deactivation email, which also said this:

> To reactivate your account, sign in to GitLab at https://gitlab.[foo].org.

So maybe a check-in with a team somewhere to revalidate the credentials
socially (ie the web of trust vis à vis the supply chain thing)?

Best,
