An account can be deleted by admins if that account never reported or commented in a bug. Else only his email address can be changed and the account disabled, but the account will still exists, including contributions (bug reports, comments) made by this account. As I understand GDPR, comments made by a user in a bug report are public and so not considered as personal data, and so do not need to be removed.
