Think most common use case: checking your own contributions, or
following a link in RC, histories, etc. The case of typing a username
into the box seems to be uncommon enough to justify a mere link.
My 2 cents:
I almost never write the user names to see the contributions, they are
too complicated :P And if i did, i already have a nice box to change it,
called address bar. :-)
