Indeed, it's not intuitive, and i was too tired to get out of bed and back
to my full keyboard, so was unnecessarily brief ;).

That's essentially correct - only the password hash (not the password),
login name, permissions, and an optional "contact info" field (normally
email address) are stored. There is no other per-user data (and were we to
add it, people would insist that it optionally be syncable with other repo
copies, and then they'd demand that it automatically sync with some repos
(namely, their own) and not with others (everyone else's), and then...). i
did experiment with using a JSON object to store arbitrary user-specific
data (in a single DB field, as a JSON object tree) some years ago, but
never did anything useful with it. The plan, at the time, was to use it to
store drafts of wiki pages/tickets.
