It won't work on the bot end without making redundant calls with the '@'
sign when a GitHub username isn't found since we query based on GitHub
username. As for the Roundup-side, it can probably be tweaked to error if
an '@' sign is entered.

But I suspect it won't happen very often -- I personally don't see people
using the '@' sign prepended to their GitHub username when simply stating
it really ever -- and when it does at least in the case of the CLA bot it
will simply say it can't find a signed CLA and we can work with the person
directly to resolve it.
