Comment (by athomas):
I really don't think it's a good idea to modify the username before
storing it into the database. It seems to me the potential for side-
effects is quite large. Two examples off the top of my head are
notifications and the default query page. Notification will expect the
comment author to be a valid username and will have to be modified to
strip the parentheses, while the query page will have to add parentheses
before doing its matching.
The other issue of course, is plugins. No plugins will have knowledge of
this username format, for either querying or modifying.
Reiterating my previous statement: this feels quite crufty and I think it
better to leave this until Trac has better/more flexible authentication.
PS. cboos, have you noticed the patch attached to this ticket displays
only two files from the diff?
