How is that different from becoming disgruntled while still working at WMF? Or becoming disgruntled without ever joining? Or stolen credentials?

That's why I'm not exactly clear on the potential risks of giving +2 rights to someone who intends harm. We are talking about exactly the same situation: Someone was a productive volunteer, then staff, then no longer staff. 99+% of the time, they should retain their rights, or get them back shortly after leaving. But there may be cases where someone would be disgruntled, and if rights are automatic in all cases, such a person could do damage. I'm just suggesting that there should be a quick and simple check to be sure that's not the case. Being without rights for a couple days doesn't seem like a small price to pay for the safety of the project.
