I have noticed a long time ago that the t attribute of <v> tag
contains the explicit user names.

While this moment might be regarded as "security through obscurity", I
now have a very strong need for wiping out that data or at least being
able to alter it.

I understand that the leo outline file format is stable and solid,
that it wouldn't be nice to change things there if they just work. But
I don't see how I could deal with this issue.

Having a pre-commit hook that would modify the outline content has a
couple of drawbacks:
- many version control systems, not all of them have pre-commit hooks
even
- processing huge outlines during each commit is simply not optimal

Running leo as another user is not good too, because:
- permission issues between my main user and the secondary user (whose
name shall appear in the outline tags) may arise
- this is simply not a general approach, because some source code
management tools specify the user name by an option or by a
cryptographic key that is loaded in the ssh/gpg agent
