My recollection (and it's been a year since I was head-down in the DB
tables, so it may be wrong) is that the Database stores all the
changes by user ID not username - so, if you change an IDs associated
name (the usurped account being renamed) then the ownership / change
history changes along with it transparently.

If that is not correct I apologize, but that's what I remember of it...
