It would be great if Bugzilla supported the ability to search for any tickets assigned to a disabled account.  I don't see how that can be done with the existing search page.

In particular, I'd like to set up a weekly whine message, so that the associated reporter knows the ticket is no longer assigned to an active account. 

Reproducible: Always

For the record, I auto assign disabled accounts to the "disabled" group.  I can then do this type of search:

  Assignee is-equal-to  %group.disabled%

Clarification, this also requires loosening the check that a user can access the disabled group.  Below is a hack.  Don't know why Bugzilla even needs such a restriction.
