Self-renaming would be great so long as appropriate logging was introduced
alongside the functionality. I don't think the main rename log should be
used, as at the end of the day these new usernames are not being endorsed to
be appropriate by a 'crat.
But yeah, sounds good.

Renaming a user who doesn't expect it would be very disruptive. This
isn't something we'd really want to give out to every sysop.
I'd much rather see a sensible system for self-renames (with decent
throttling, checks, etc)
