I like Discord's model of usernames, where I can be wilfred#12345 even if other people have the same name. Perhaps package managers could do the same thing? It'd save the hassle with name collisions that many systems have. You could also compare download numbers if unsure.

It's weird how email addresses have become a useful way of uniquely identifying people in usernames. This isn't something email was originally intended for. It makes sense: I imagine postal addresses and even names change more often than email.

Is there a term for debugging where you've fixed the issue, but you don't understand the behaviour that the bug produced? "Fixed if(logged_in) which should have been if(!logged_in). No idea why users previously got their usernames ROT13'd."
