A request's admin page ought have a button to publicly disassociate the request from the user who made it.

This would have the effect of:

i/ If this was the first request publicly dissociated from this user create a new user account user name [Name Removed] email address nameremoved_X@invalid where X auto-increments
ii/Move the request so it becomes associated with either the user created in i/ or the specific [Name Removed] account associated with the user.
iii/ Set up censor rules on the requests to remove the user's name, including variants (as smartly as possible!) - at least if the user name was Richard Taylor, catching R Taylor - these should be user wide censor rules set up on the [Name Removed] user account.

Note: We don't do this very often at the moment; so it might not be worth the developer effort over doing it manually.
