Added new filter definition to re-use "user_name" filter handler from core user module. This adds autocomplete to filter widget, so user can easily filter threads by it's members.

Also there is an alternative way to achieve similar behavior - apply core patch from https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2429699 📌 Add Views EntityReference filter to be available for all entity reference fields Closed: duplicate and add next to your custom code:

/**
 * Implements hook_views_data_alter().
 */
function your_module_views_data_alter(array &$data) {
  $data['private_message_thread__members']['members_target_id']['filter']['id'] = 'entity_reference';
}

Clear your cache and this will make members field looks like eneity reference with different settings.

If you experience duplicates - this is completely fine and normal behavior of SQL query. To fix so - enable aggregation and select "Group results together" in aggregation type settings.

Awesome, thanks!
