Currently if you want to hook up dvc to a fileserver you have to provide something like the following in the dvc config file
[core]
remote = ssh-storage
['remote "ssh-storage"']
url = ssh://path.to/model_registry
port = 22
user = user123
ask_password = true
This means that I only have to put my password in when I run commands that require dvc to access the fileserver.
However, since this config file is checked in to git and used by others I would find it useful to have an ask_username option like the ask_password flag. This means everyone can share this config file without having to change it. Currently you have to change the username, creating a diff on the config file that you ignore. (you can't gitignore this file as it's needed in the project)
TLDR; enable an ask_user field for ssh connections
