Commits are immutable in Fossil.  However, you can issue a name-change tag
against the commit.  The old username will still be in the repo, but the
modified name will appear on the timeline.

The simplest way to issue a name-change tag is to use the web interface.
Go to the check-in you want to modify.  Click on "edit".  Then enter the
new username at the appropriate place on the form and press "Submit".
