It wouldn't be hard to have a bot go through and fix signatures, the
problem in the past has been getting community acceptance.
In the past on enwiki many have considered such edits to be useless edits
that clutter watchlists and recentchanges, when someone is going around
making edits to thousands of old discussion pages for what seems to them to
be very little benefit.
And then there's the issue where if "Joe Wiki" renames himself to
"CoolDude1234" and all signatures are changed, it gets much harder to
follow things if people are calling this person "Joe" or "JW" in their
comments. Even with the new style of using linked full usernames to trigger
Echo notifications, would these get replaced since they're not signatures?

Agreed. I think this issue should be handled on a case-by-case basis.
