It seems only the admin can change a user’s username ([User has no option to change username? - Support - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-has-no-option-to-change-username/62451)).
Can the admin update my username to `athyfr`?
On GitHub I’m already `athyfr`, so this would help with consistency, too.
