Impact: minor annoyance to Lix's admins who have to change usernames for people, but the workarounds are known. Possibly discourages people changing their usernames, which is unfortunate.

For context: seems that the bug is that admins used to be able to change username, and now they can't

This bug makes it so no one can really change the username lol. There's a feature request to allow users to change their username, which should also fix this bug: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/687

Relevant code:
