I was never a prominent poster, but I recently switched accounts for idiosyncratic reasons. I noticed only one other recent deletion (the first case that you mention).
I suspect—on the basis of similarity of name—that yours may be the second account I had in mind. (Though if so, I’d classify you as a somewhat-prominent poster: certainly one whose account name I recognized.)
Given this and other responses and non-responses, I’m revising downward my estimate of how likely it is that there are a bunch of other recent deletions I haven’t noticed. So, maybe not much of a rash after all.
Hmm. I didn’t think this name was a strong clue. And I wouldn’t want to be wrongly associated with someone else’s old account, so if you care about it, you can PM with the old name I can verify or not (the old account was essentially as anonymous as this name).

In that case it almost certainly isn’t you after all. I’ll PM you anyway just out of curiosity :-).
