Send email reminders for outstanding user deletion requests
While working on migrating some functionality from Drupal to the user-deletion service, a collection of user deletion requests was observed to have been sitting in the DB for a few months. This is likely due to these requests having been manually processed, and therefore circumvented our automation process. We need a solution to catch these before they sit for too long.
The solution I am proposing is the following:
- Create a cron task within the user deletion service that runs once every 48hrs and compares dates to catch outstanding requests
- This task will send an email to webmaster/webdev with a short message informing us that action is required to clean up these requests. From here we can evaluate the cause and address the issue at hand.
