Other names, and changing usernames #614

Open edemaine opened 1 year ago

Proposal: Add a user setting of "other names" that can include nicknames and old names (in case of recent change of names). The only purpose would be for when searching through name lists (authorship and @ mentions, and users access). Though it might make sense to also display it. Related to #223.

Related, it would be nice to have a set of usernames all tied to the same account. This would let someone change their primary username while old @ mentions still work. Maybe requires superuser intervention, to avoid polluting username space.
