Its been some time since the original issue and patches.
Since then this module now uses the users display name instead of the username, which resolves 1/2 of what was being addressed in the original patches.
I have created MR!121 which adds realname support to the autocomplete query for the members widget if realname is installed.
here is a patch for the MR to use with composer.

Last patch in #22 was wrong, some unintended changes made it in there.
this one should work with composer - 🇷🇴Romania claudiu.cristea Arad 🇷🇴
Isn't this reduced to the idea of using User::getDisplayName()?

@claudiu.cristea I dont believe that getDisplayName() is a queryable field, right?
I'm trying to get the auto complete search to use the compiled display name that is stored in the realname table.

Thank you. I think you're right. I'm not a very big fan of adding module soft dependencies (aka "if module exists..."). Is there any way you can hook in from a 3rd-party and alter the suggestions? At least maybe we can create a submodule to add realname support. I admit I didn't have time to give a deeper look at this
