Thanks for the great plugin! We use it every day to correct usernames of members in a discourse-connected community of 8,000+ people. We are bumping up against a scalability issue with this plugin, which is that currently only administrators are allowed to change usernames of other users. We need to be able to give more people the capability to change usernames of other users without giving them full admin privileges.

We have succeeded otherwise in creating a fairly good set of wordpress roles for handling various aspects of our community, to give to different people (e.g. helpdesk, resource library editor, etc). To bring this plugin into line we'd like to add a new edit_others_username capability and give that to our existing helpdesk admin role.

Is this a new feature you'd be willing to add? If not, would you welcome a pull request to add it?
