Now I remember. I was using username in the first
prototype and Jaime
identified that as a problem. I can't remember if it was for privacy or
legal reasons, but I've cc-ed her personally so she can chime in.

UserMetrics used to return user IDs (the
rationale is that in Product we
may use the output of a request for further analysis, and that's what user
IDs are good for) and Wikimetrics just followed the same implementation.
The existing metric cards in Mingle have "username" as a requirement for
the individual output on top of user ID (see [1]). I think this should be
captured as a separate card that would apply to all metrics: I agree it
would be useful to have the username added by default (no need to make it
opt in or opt out as it's strictly equivalent to a user ID).

Sweet! thanks for the lookup tool
The chapter leaders at Iberoconf told me that they would prefer to just
see the usernames as the default. I suppose we could have the actual
usernames be an "opt-in," and the user_id to be the default? (I actually
can't remember the rationale behind user_ids in the first place, so if
someone has specific points around this, please share!)
