Make Github username available like {email} and {name} so that it can be used in href options for creating link to user's profile.

[ ] {username} is available along with {email} and {name} and can be used in href option using the f-string format.

This is impossible as that information is not recorded by git.

You can however retrieve the GitHub username (and additional information) using the GitHub api. There's another plugin to do that: https://github.com/ojacques/mkdocs-git-committers-plugin-2
